Talking Hands

Trama

When Indians roamed the Great Plains of the united States to hunt the migrating buffalo herds, they met other tribes. They had to know if buffalo had been sighted, or whether the other Indians were friendly. But the language of the Cheyenne differed from that of the Crow, and the language of the Crow from that of the Kiowa.
