she pushes it on with the left hand every time | she beats it; and she 
continues doing so until she | reaches the end of the whole length of 
the cedar-bark. When she | reaches the end, she puts down the 
cedar-bark beater, takes the broad | end of the shredded cedar-bark, 
30 and lays it down flat on her knee. She || keeps it in the same way 
as she had it placed over the paddle, and she peels off | what came 
off by beating it. It is all in strips; and when she has taken it 
off, | she pulls it off, and she continues plucking off what is on the 
shredded cedar-bark; and when | she has plucked it off along the 
whole length, she splits it into strips one | finger wide.t

four back pieces of the split cedar-withes. ‘These | are to be the cor-

another one different from the four pieces, which is to form the

cedar-withes and puts | them into the bottom, and she takes split 
roots and | ties them together with them. Now it 
is tied crosswise in this way, | being placed and 
tied close together. The length of the bot-

is, where the corner withes are tied in. | As soon
