covering. She takes her small dish | and spoon and puts them down 
by the side of the small kettle | in which the elderberries have been 
cooked. She takes her spoon and pokes under the | boiled elder- 
berries, and lifts them up and puts them into | the dish from which 
the elderberries are eaten; and after she has done so, she turns her 
spoon over and || presses it into the boiled elderberries, which are

piece of split cedar-bark and ties it on one end to | keep it from 
splitting, and the tongs are one span | in length. When the tongs are 
finished, they | are used like a fork. She puts them into the boiled || 
berries which are mixed with the stems. Then she puts (the tongs) 
into her mouth and sucks out the juice; | and when all the juice has 
been sucked out, she blows out the stems and the | seeds. She con-

she has done this, she puts away what is left, | so that she can eat it 
after a while. Then she takes up some water and || rinses her mouth, 
so that the seeds that are in her mouth may come out. | After she
