Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Experiences Among Our North American Indians Supplement In the writer's collection of Indian books, num bering quite 100, he has failed to find any refer ence to this symbol of the open hand. A recent letter from Mr. Mooney of the bureau of ethnol ogy states: There is nothing secret or sacred about the Indian hand symbol. Painted upon the breast, pony, or tepee of an individual, it signifies, among the Plains tribes that he has met an enemy in a hand-to-hand encounter. In the instance noted it may be that the Indian who drew the picture could claim such honor, and hence the picture served as his card of introduction.
