to asharp point, over her left shoulder. | After doing so, she takes her 
digging-stick, || puts one end into the ground, and pries up the roots; 
and when | the roots come out of the ground, she picks out straight 
medium-sized roots | without branches. She takes hold of them and 
pulls them out. | When she reaches the thick root from which it 
branches off, | she takes her small ax and chops it off. Then || she 
goes back to the place where she started and takes hold again of the 
root and pulls it out | towards the thin end; and when she comes to 
the place where | it branches out, she takes her ax and cuts it off. 
Then | she coils it up. Some of the wood-digging women call this | 
gestd. Then she takes the thin || roots and ties them in four places, 
in this way;' and she continues | doing so while she is getting the 
roots. | 
As soon as she has enough, she goes to a patch of young cedar-trees | 
and looks for good cedar-withes which are long, | without branches. | 
She cuts off those that are not twisted. Whenshe thinks | she has cut 
off enough, she ties them with twisted cedar- | withes in four different 
places, in this way.? After | she has done so, she carries away what 
she has cut off, and she just stops | to pick up the roots which she has 
dug, and goes home. |
