RUSHING BEAR, AN ARIKARA CHIEF.

Place the right fist in front of the right side of the breast, palm

down; extend and curve the thumb and little finger so that their tips

point toward one another before the knuckles of the remaining closed

fingers, then reach forward a short distance and pull toward the body

several times ratter quickly; suddenly push the fist, in this form,

forward to arm's length twice. (_Dakota_ VI; _Arikara_ I.) "Bear, and

rushing."
