EAGLE BULL, A DAKOTA CHIEF.

[Illustration: Fig. 299.]

Place the clinched fists to either side of the head with the

forefingers extended and curved, as in Fig. 298; then extend the left

hand, flat, palm down, before the left side, fingers pointing forward;

the outer edge of the flat and extended right hand is then laid

transversely across the back of the left hand, and slid forward

over the fingers as in Fig. 299. (_Dakota_ VI; _Ankara_ I.) "Bull

and eagle--'_Haliaetus leucocephalus, (Linn.) Sav._'" In the

picture-writing of the Moquis, Fig. 300 represents the eagle's tail as

showing the difference of color which is indicated in the latter part

of the above gesture.
