Chief:    “How, how, how”

Indian Grand Howl:  Stomp feet three times, beat chest three times, Yell How 5 times

One How Yell:  Yell the word "HOW" loudly. Can be built up to more how's as needed.

According to the Commissioner Dave How Scale –
Three How’s is a perfect score.  I almost never give three how’s but very often award two and a half how’s. 
That is yelled – How, How, Ugh.

Silent Smoke: Make a fist with one hand, point the index finger, hold it close to the chest, then with a circular motion, begin to slowly raise your arm, keeping the finger extended until it is high over your head.

Arrow of Light: Hold your hands out if front of your left side. Make an arc by moving your hand over your head to your right side while saying, “Whoosh.”

Bow and Arrow: Make a motion as if shooting an arrow and say, “Zing, zing, zing.” Pretend to release an arrow with each zing.

Canoe: Have everyone pretend to paddle a canoe leisurely. 
Then yell, “We are being attacked.
Now everyone paddles extremely fast.

Drum:   Beat your legs and say, “Tat-a-tat-tat” 3 or 4 times, then beat on our stomach, saying, “Boom-boom.”

Echo:     “Well done, well done, well done!” Say as if echoing back.
