8 2. Wawiiliba^ye. The painting on the front outside of the house 

 is I the whale, for the ancestor of their chief was a whale. There- 

 to fore II his name is Yaqal^Enala. And he painted his origin on the 

 outside I front of his house. There are four house dishes; one is a | 

 whale house dish, another one a killer-whale house dish, and | one 

 a bullhead house dish, and one a Dzonoq !wa-of-the-sea house dish. |
