The Mlgii Language of the American In
dians.
The English journal’* praise Mr. J. G.
Kohl’s new book of American travel, Kilehi
Garni; or Wanderings Round Lake Superior.—
Headers who have not already perused Mr.
Kohl’s sgroeable pages, will be interested in
his description of the sign languages now in
common use among the aborignees of America:
When speaking, for instance, of tbe Great
Spirit, they usually direct a reverential or tim
id glance upwards, or point tbe forefinger
perpendicularly but gently to tbe sky.
When alluding to the sun, or to the time,
which is much the same thing, as the sun ia
their clock, and indicating the spot at which
the sun stood when the event to which they
are alluding occored, they pyint fixedly to
that point, and hold their arm in that posi
tion for several moments.
When speaking of a day, they pass the fin
ger slowly along tbe entire vault of heaven,
commencing at (he east and terminating in
tbe west. This is tbe sign of one day.
If a shot has to be mentioned in tne story,
they usually strike the palm of the left hand
with tbe back of tbe right hand, so as to pro
duce a slight sound.
If describing a journey ou horse back, the
two first fingers of the right are placed astride
of (be forefinger of tbe left hand, and both
represent tbe galloping movements of a horse.
if it is a foot journey, they wave the two
fingers several times through tho air.
In counting, the ten fingers are naturally
used, and (he number is not only held up, but
mentioned.
In this manner and by many hundred simi
lar gestures, they supplement and support
their oral remarks. And it will he seen, from
their gestures I have described, Ibat the
tongue can be frequently allowed a rest, aud
tbe meaning perfectly conveyed by signs.
Suppose an Indian wished to tell another
he had ridden three days over the praire, he
first points to his own worthy person; that
indicates “ I.” Then be sets bis fingers gal
loping as 1 have described. This perfects the
idea: “ I have traveled on horseback. M —
Next he passes his hand once athwart the sky,
which furnishes the notion of a "day;” and
finally holds up three fingers before his
friend’s eyes, to show be spent " three” daye.
It is a curious fact, though Indian dialects
differ so greatly, this language of sign* is the
same for enormous distances. All travelers
who had crossed the prairies told me that
there was but one sign language, which all
the Indians comprebeud, and any ooe who had
learned it oould travel with it from one end of
America to the other.
For such sigus as those of which I have
given specimens, such as the sun, a day, a
number, a horsemen, &c., when nothing bet
ter or more natural could be choeeo, this
is sasily to be understood. But the sign
language developed itself to a fuller extent,
and undertook a visible representation of ab
stract ideas. Hence must naturally becotnt
conventional. Thus, for instance, if desirous
to express the idea of "beauty,” this could
not be imitated like the exploeiou of a gun.—
Still, some sign to express the idea could be
agreed on. Most curiously, the Indian races
were unanimous in accepting the tame sign.
When they wish to explain that they snw "a
beautiful” woman, they pass (be flat band
gently and slowly through a lhe air as if imi
tating the wave line. Even the sex is describ
ed unanimously. Whin speaking of a woman,
the Indians pass tbe palm once down tbe face
and the whole body, as if wishing to indicata
the long waving dresses or the graceful con
tour of the female body. This smoothing of
tbe face universally means "a member of the
fair sex.”
A copioue grammar of thia langauge of
signs could be written. How rich it would be
may be drawn from ibe fact that Indians of
two different tribes, who do not understand a
word of each other’s spoken language, will sit
for half a day on one spot, talking and chat
tering, and telling each other all sorts of eto-
riea, with movements of their fingers, heads
and feet.
A hollow hand, with tbe motion of drawing
water, signifies water. When tne finger tra
ces serpentine lines on the ground, it ie n riv
er. A band moved up and down in the nir
signifies a mountian.
Tbe several beasts have naturally their spe
cial signs. Usually cnly some characteristic
portion of the animal is imitated—for instance,
the horns. The horns of the Buffalo differ
from these of the elk, and tkus the entire an
imal ie indicated.
The idea of a large number, or many, is in
dicated by clutohing at tbe air several times
with the hands. Tbe morion greatly resem
bles that of a daneeuse playing tbe^easten-
aettes.
Little, or nothing, is signified by passing
one hand over the other.
Very curious, but quite universal, is tbe
sign for admiration among the American In
dians. They hold the boiiow hand for some
time before the mouth. This it, however, I
suspect, a species of quidproquo, and the real
sign—namely, the mouth open iu amazement
—ii ooncealed behind it. They carry the
hand to the mouth, and conceal the face be
hind it, because it is improper to display emo
tion or admiration.
