folds around them. As soon as she | has done so, she takes split 
cedar-sticks and digs a hole in the hot | ashes just under the fire. 
When the hole is deep enough, she | takes the clover wrapped up in 
skunk-cabbage and puts it into it. | She takes the split cedar-sticks 
and she scrapes the hot ashes || over the clover that she is going to 
bake. When | it is covered thick with hot ashes, she piles fire over 
it. | When this is done, she waits for it to be baked. After a short 
while | she thinks that it is done. Then she takes up the split cedar- 
sticks, scrapes | away the fire and the ashes, and digs out the clover 
wrapped up in || skunk-cabbage leaves. She opens the leaves and 
spreads them on the floor, | and the baked clover-roots are piled up 
in the middle | of the Jeaf. They use the leaf as a dish, and eat it 
without oil | when they eat the baked clover. The woman only eats 
it | with her husband; and they drink a little water after || eating it, 
as the white men do when they drink tea. After they have | eaten 
enough, they drink much water. That is al) about this. | 
Raw Clover-Root._-Now I will talk about | those who eat raw 
clover. Not all Indians eat it | raw. Generally it is eaten raw by 
the woman who is || digging it, when she gets hungry, and she does 
not wish to lose time by going to | eat in her house. Then she just 
eats raw | clover. That is the only time when it is eaten raw. | 
These are all the ways of pale clover. |
