flat bottom, as the one that is used for digging clover, for the same | 
basket that is used for clams is used for Ginquefoil-roots: | and the 
other cinquefoil-basket is smaller. It is for the lower roots, || for 
these are very long, and they grow under the curly | cinquefoil-roots. 
As soon as the season for digging cinquefoil-roots in the autumn 
arrives, then | the woman who owns a cinquefoil-garden takes her 
cedar-bark belt and | mat, two cinquefoil digging-baskets, and her 
digging-stick, and goes to the snopnial eon den. || When she arrives 
there, she puts down her baskets | and her digging-stick, and she 
spreads the mat on her back. | She takes her woven cedar-bark belt 
and puts | it around her body over the mat. 
so, she sits down on the lower end of the back-protector mat. || Then 
she takes her digging-stick and pokes the end into the ground in one 
corner of her | cinquefoil-garden. The point of the digging-stick does 
not go in deep. | Then she pries it up. Then the cinquefoil-roots 
show themselves, and | the woman picks out the short, curly | 
cinquefoil-roots and puts them into the larger || basket which stands 
at her right side. She puts down | the smaller basket on the left-hand 
side. After | she has picked out the cinquefoil-roots, she takes her 
digging-stick again and pushes | the end into the ground at the place 
where she dug first, for the small cinquefoil-roots are only four fingers
