 woman who was rooted to the floor gave them food and spoke: "My 

 dear, Na'nwaqawo, yon shall dance and keep the ha/mats'a mask, the 

 raven mask, and the ho'Xhok" mask, and the BaxbakualanuXsI'wae

 shall have red and white cedar bark mixed, and the "Bear inside the 

 door of this house" shall have whistles. The no'uLtsistalaL shall have 

 two whistles and red and white cedar bark. You shall also see how 

 the bedroom (ma'wlL) and the ha'mats'a pole are made. You see it 

 there, extending through the roof. Here, take the whistles of Bax- 

 bakualanuXsi'wae." Thus spoke the woman to Na'nwaqawe. Now the

 noqa shall carry a corpse on her arms and she shall feed it to the 

 ha'mats'a." Then ISTa/nwaqawe spoke: "My dear, go and teach us all 

 you can. Tell us what BaxbakufdanuXsi'wae was doing, and tell us 

 all his names." Then the woman spoke: "Now listen, these are his
