822 ETHNOLOGY OF THE KWAKIUTL Ieth. ann. 35 



25 live II atTsaxis; theGwetsla, Qlomoya^ye, and ^walasKwag'iil; | and 

 the Qlomk' !ut!ES have no Eagle. | 



The order of the Eagles of the Kwakiutl is not changed when 

 property is given to the tribes | when they are invited ; for when the 

 name-keepers | make a mistake, and place one Eagle over another 

 30 one, || the Eagle at once quarrels with the one who had been named 

 before him, and | often he breaks his copper, and often he gives 

 the I broken piece of copper to the name-keeper, who keeps the 

 order of seats of all the | nien; for there is one man who is the 

 name-keeper of the GwetEla, | of the Q !5moya^ye, and of the ^walas 

 35 Kwag'ul, and also of the || Qlomk' lutlES. | 



And these are never changed ; for when a name-keeper gets weak | 

 because he is old, he gives the office of name-keeper to his | eldest 

 son, for the | name-keeper is not a nobleman. || 

 40 The name-keeper of the GwetEla is called Wiltse^stala, and his 

 seat is | in the numaym Laalax's^Endayo. | 



And the name-keeper of the Qlomoy^ye^ is Sewid, and his seat is 

 in the | numavm HaanaLena. | 



And the name-keeper of the ^walas Kwag'ul is Walalas, and his || 

 45 seat is in the numaym G' ig' ilgam. | 



And the name-keeper of the Q !omk' !ut !es is called Lalep !alas, and 

 his seat | is in the numaym LgLEged. |
