hand-adz and. . . cuts the back of the bottom || of the young cedar. 
She leaves a strip four | finger-widths wide, which she does not cut when 
she cuts around the tree, and | she peels off a strip two finger-widths 
wide. | This is what the women who get cedar-bark call ‘‘making a 
road,” | for after that she peels off a broad strip which is to go high 
up. After she has taken off the || narrow strip which makes the road, 
she begis to peel at the lower end, starting with her adz | at the 
place where she cut around. The broad piece is one | span wide. 
Then she peels it off, and | as it goes up high, she steps back from the | 
place where she stands; and if the young cedar-tree is smooth high 
up, she || goes far back. 
While she is going backward, she holds slack the cedar-bark that 
she is peeling off, | when it falls back to where it was before. Then 
the woman who peels the cedar-bark pulls at it, | so that it comes off. 
What she is peeling off becomes narrower as it goes upward, | and 
it Just runs into a point and breaks off when it reaches way up. | Im- 
mediately the woman puts it down on the ground, with the inner 
side downward, and the outer bark outside. || Then she peels off 
other pieces as she did | the first one; and she stops peeling when a 
strip | four fingers wide is left on the cedar-tree. That is | what the 
people of olden times refer to as being left on the young cedar-tree, 
so that | it should not be without clothes and to keep it alive. ||
