1 Cedar-Bark Basket (1).—Now the flat-bottomed basket is finished. | 
Then the woman takes cedar-bark and puts it down at the place where 
she is seated, | not far from the fire of the house, so that the | heat of 
the fire just strikes it. She measures the cedar-bark with her hand | 
5 and cuts off a length of five spans | with her fish-knife. When the 
cedar-bark has been cut, | she splits it so that it is one | finger-width 
wide in the middle, in this manner: | This will be the 
10 bottom of the cinquefoil-basket. As soon as all || the 
cedar-bark has been split in the middle, the woman who makes the 
basket takes cedar-sticks | and splits them in square pieces half the 
thickness of the | little finger, and she measures them so that each is 
two spans | long. Then she breaks them off. | When this has been 
15 done, she takes a narrow strip of || split cedar-bark, and she takes the 
two | cedar-sticks that have been measured and places them together 
crosswise, in this way: Then she | ties them together with 
the narrow split cedar- bark. As soon as this has been 
finished, she | takes another one of the cedar-sticks that 
have been measured and puts it | on the other end of those that have 
20 been tied together, and she ties it on with narrow | split 
cedar-bark, in this manner: After this has been done, she | 
takes up another one of the cedar-sticks that have been 
measured, and she puts it | on the ends of the two sticks, and she ties
