It is different among all people even within a tribe.

There is a pan-indian (many tribes) Native handshake.

Important info. I got on the Cheyenne:
"Cheyenne Indians call themselves Tsitsistas; 'Cheyenne' is a mistake, a Sioux word for Cree"
http://www.native-languages.org/cheyenne.htm
(the above website has a link to Cheyenne language sites)

This is a link to four greetings (it is part of an onine cheyenne-english dictionary):

Here is a link that talks about Cheyenne Hello & Goodbye:

Respect/Etiquette Tips:
A good tip when shaking hands with a Native is not to grip to tight, many Native people consider this disrespectful.

Also talk softly and listen well. Don't walk between two people who are talking. Elders are to be respected, even if you don't agree with their opinion.

I am a Native woman.

All Native Americans don't speka the same language, some speak Navajo, others Cherokee etc.

It's a broad question with many answers.

Hau kola! Hau kola (or hello friend) is one of the ways Native American people greet each other.

I say " Hey Jim, how have you been?", then I shake hands. If I told you what we really say and do, I'd have to kill you., lol.
