How do you say "Hello" in the Crow Indian language?

Ka-Hay. Sho'o Daa' Chi: Welcome to the home of Chief Plenty Coups or "Alakchia Ahoosh" as he was known in the Absaaloga language. Absaaloga is the word for Crow Indian. It means the children of the large beaked bird. From: Chief Plenty Coups State Park Museum Tour Content

In traditional and contemporary Crow culture, it is customary to greet each other with a quick glance away or a blink and nod of the head. If they are wearing a hat, they might tip the brim of the hat. Handshaking is a white man's custom and was only recently accepted as a greeting in Crow culture. You will rarely see Crow people embracing publicly. From: Vincent Goes Ahead, Jr., Museum Interpreter, Vice Chairman of the Crow Tribe
