12 baskets | and twilled baskets. None of the | double twilled baskets 
are found nowadays. In these the | daughters of the chiefs of the 
tribes kept their combs. ‘The strong inner side | is the same as the 
15 inner part, for it is good for everything. || They are both the same. 
You know already how the | woman measures the length of the cedar-

about it. | 
Shredding Cedar-Bark.—Now | will talk about the making of soft | 
20 cedar-bark. (The man) takes a small ax, for I || have finished talk- 
ing about the bark-peeler which is used on | young cedar-trees. He 
chops around the bottom of a young cedar-tree | with black bark. 
He uses the small ax for lifting the bark | from the tree at the bot- 
tom, and he does the same as he does when | he peels cedar-bark. 
25 After peeling off || the rough outer bark, he also makes a bundle of it 
and | carries it on his back into the house. He puts it down by the 
side | of the fire of his house. Then his wife unties | the strings at 
the ends, and she takes up one of the pieces of bark for making soft 
bark and unfolds it. | She hangs it up back of the fire of the house, ||

there in order to get dry quickly, for they are very thick. | It takes 
six days before they get dry. As soon | as they have been hung up,
