STUMBLING BEAR, A KAIOWA 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 place the left flat hand edgewise before the breast,

pointing to the right; hold the right hand flat pointing down nearer

the body; move it forward toward the left, so that the right-hand

fingers strike the left palm and fall downward beyond the left.

(_Kaiowa_ I.) "Bear, and stumble or stumbling."
