12 ancestors, | for in the beginning they were taken care of by the 

 chiefs of the tribes. | Tlierefore my heart feels proud. | 



Haha hanane! When night came, XosEmdaas (III 3) disap- 



15 peared, || for now I shall no longer call him ^maxiilag'ihs; | and his 

 sister ^max'mEwidzEmga (III 4), and Laqula3'iig\va (III 5), | and 

 also ^maxuyalidze (III 6), disappeared. They stayed in the woods 

 for four I months. Then the cannibal-dancer was captured by the 

 ancestors of the | Nak!waxda-x", and also the rich-woman-dancer, 



20 the fire-dancer, || and tlie attendant of the cannibal-dancer. Now, 

 TslEx^ed (II 4) gave as a marriage gift | two slaves as food for the 

 cannibal-dancer and the rich-woman-danccr. | And the two slaves 

 were killed to be eaten. | And as soon as the cannibal-dancer and the | 

 rich-woman-thxncer had finished eating their food, then they put a 



25 black-bear blanket || on the cannibal-chmcer. And they dressed in 

 the same way the | rich- woman-dancer ; and they put around their 

 necks tliick cedar-bark rings; and they put on a thick | head- 

 ring, wliich is called Wintcr-Dance-Bringing-Cedar-Bark. | The red 

 cedar-bark of the rich-woman-dancer was not so thick as the thick- 

 ness of the I red cedar-bark of the cannibal-dancer. He had a 



30 double-headed mask: || in front it was the crooked-nose mask, and 

 in the back a raven-mask. | And the treasure of the rich-woman- 

 dancer was a large rattle. | The red cedar-bark of the other two, the 

 fire-dancer and the I attendant of the cannibal-dancer, was tliin.
