544 ETHNOLOGY OF THE KWAKIUTL (PTH. ANN. 35 
Then they dip (the ball) | into the oil and put it into the mouth. 
They keep on doing this | until they have had enough. Then they 
drink some | water after eating the boiled long roots. | 
There are only two ways of cooking the long and sh ort cinquefoil- 
roots. | Only this teaches the common people their low station, 
when it is given in a feast, for the long roots are given to the chiefs 
and the | short ones (to the others), for only chiefs eat the long 
roots | and the common men eat the short roots. || That is all about 
this. 
Erythronium.—l{ the woman has many Erythronium plants, she 
takes a large dish | and puts it down at the place where she | always 
sits. With one hand she takes up the | flat-bottomed basket contain- 
ing the roots and pours them into the large dish. || Then she goes to 
get water in her bucket, and pours it into | the large dish contain- 
ing the roots, and she moves them with her hands so that the | - 
earth comes off. She washes them; and | after moving them with 
her hands, she washes*out the flat-bottomed basket. | When it is 
clean, she takes the roots out of the water and || puts them back into 
the small-meshed flat-bottomed basket. When | the roots have all 
been taken out of the washing-dish, she takes up the | washing-dish 
at each end and pours out the dirty water outside of | the house; 
and she brings it back again and puts it down | where it was before.
