In the version of sign language used by the Plains tribes, there was historically no sign for hello or hi, or welcome, or good morning or good afternoon. When meeting a stranger, each party would first want to know the identity of the other, using the signs for "Question you called?" or "Question tribe you?".
When meeting someone you already know, the conversation might begin with signs for "I see you."
This is expressed like this:
I = touch centre of chest with right thumb
see= extend first two fingers of right hand in front of eyes
you= point first finger of right hand at the person you are addressing
