canoe, | K" !8,de (rV21) spoke again, and said, "Son-Ln-law, || let me 50 

 change your name. Your name shall be YfiqEyalisEm (V 6), | and 

 your secular name Hamisk'Enis (V6)." Thus he said. When | he 

 stopped speaking, Copper-Dancer (V 6) spoke, and | tot)k the copper 

 that his wife was carrying and thanked | his father-in-law (IV 21) for 

 his word, and after he had thanked him, he || promised to give a 55 

 potlatch with the copper to the Kwakiutl. Tlien he changed his 

 name; | and now he was no more Copper-Dancer (V 6), but his name 

 was YaqEyalisEm (V6); | and when ho had stopped spoakmg, they 

 turned back | and went home to Qalogwis. When they arrived at | 

 Qalogwis, YaqEyallsEm (V6) cleared the floor of his house, for it was 

 nearly winter || when he wont to marry. When | his house was 60 

 cleared out, he sent his four speakers to | call the Kwakiutl. He 

 asked all the men to come into his house. | When it was towards 

 evening, they came in, and at once | YaqEyalisEm (V 6) made a pot- 

 latch to them. It was still the secular season || when he gave a pot- 65 

 latch to his tribe. Then his name was really | YaqEyalisEm (V 6) ; 

 and he named his younger brother | NaplElEine^ (V 5) Hamisk'Enis. 

 These were their secular names. He did | not make a potlatch to his 

 tribe, the Kwakiutl, until late in the evening. | Now YaqEyalisEm 

 (V 6) barred the door against his tribe || so that they could not go out 70
