The traditional prairie greeting begins with the giving party asking permission to greet one or several Friends. If responded to with acceptance or a greeting of their own, the greeting takes place. The greeting consists of a Friend deep kissing another Friend while holding on to her cheeks. The kiss lasts a few seconds and is done as a sign of respect and gratitude from the giving party to the recipiant. Though generally used simply to greet Friends, it can also be used as a sign of gratitude.
