and throws them into the | fire. When this is done, she takes out 
a bunch of currants | and strips them off, and puts them on top of 
the salal-berries | which have been stripped off and which are in the 
dishes. She strips the currant-stems || and puts the currants on the 
salal-berries that has been stripped off, and | she throws the currant- 
stems into the fire. She continues doing this with the | others; and 
as soon as the basket is empty, | she puts it away. She takes her 
husband’s stone hammer | by the small end with the right hand, 
and || with the big end she pounds the mixed salal-berries and 
currants. | She pounds them with the stone hammer for a long time 
and only stops when | all the salal-berries and currants have all burst 
and are | all mixed. When this is done, she tells her husband | to 
go and invite whomever he likes from among the chiefs, || for only 
chiefs eat this kind of food, consisting of salal-berries | mixed with 
currants; and the owner of this kind of food, | salal-berries and cur- 
rants, eats it,—the woman, her husband, | and their children. Then 
the woman’s husband goes out to | invite the chiefs and their wives; 
and as soon as the woman’s || husband goes out of the house, she takes 
her small dishes and her | horn-spoon basket, and puts them dowi 
next to her seat, | and also her oil, and she spreads out a new mat on 
which | her husband’s guests are to sit. As soon as she has done so, 
the chiefs come in with their wives. and husband and wife || sit down
