I found another cite for finger flicking.
Perhaps you could enter this on you discussion board for me.
Page 100, last paragraph
Chippewa Child Life and Its Cultural Background.
by Sister M. Inez Hilger
Minnesota Historical Society Press, St. Paul 1992
(originally published BAE Bulletin 146, in 1951)

The Ojibway say 'Ga' in a loud voice and flick their fingers in annoyance.
The description of the flick matches the description I gave you earlier
for the term Oglala.
