or 
1 Steamed Lupine-Roots.—They | build a fire in the same way, and 
the woman goes to get stones in the same way, as they do when | 
they build a fire for steaming the short cinquefoil-roots; and only 
this is different, that | she takes green grass and skunk-cabbage 
5 leaves to place || on the red-hot stones when they are placed in the 
steaming-box, | and that they put red-hot stones into the steaming- 
box. | When there are enough, the woman takes the green | grass 
and puts it on the red-hot stones; and when | there is a thick layer 
on them, she takes the skunk-cabbage leaves and places them flat on 
10 the || fresh grass; and when there are many layers of this, | she takes 
her digging-stick for digging clams and pokes holes | through the 
skunk-cabbage leaves. After making many | holes, she takes her 
basket with lupine-roots, unties the | top, and takes out the roots, 
15 which she places || on the skunk-cabbage leaves. When she thinks 
there are enough, | she takes a bucket with water and empties it over 
the roots. | When (the water) has all been poured out, she takes old 
mats and | covers up the box, so that the steam shall not come 
through. She leaves it that way for a long time. | Sometimes she 
20 leaves it there until mid-day, if she began || cooking in the morning. 
Then she takes off the cover, takes her | small dish and puts it down. 
She takes her tongs and takes out | the steamed lupine-roots, puts 
them into the | small dish from which the roots are to be eaten; and
