sucking the viburnum-berries, and they only stop when everything 
has been eaten. | Some of them stop sooner, because they can not 
stand to have their tongues | rubbed through. These are the ones 
who have never eaten sucked viburnum-berries before. || As soon as 
they have done so, they go out. That is all about the viburnum- 
berry. | 
Steamed Viburnum-Berries.—There is one thing that I forgot when 
I | described the steaming of yiburnum-berries, | for you know the 
way in which viburnum-berries are picked when they are green. | In 
this way they are eaten in Knight Inlet. || As soon as the woman 
comes home, she picks off the stems and puts | the cleaned berries 
into the large basket. When | they have been picked off, she 
puts the large | basket with the picked berries in a cool corner 
of the house. | After this has been done, she goes into the woods, ear- 
rying her basket on her back. She is going to || look for fern-fronds 
and skunk-cabbage leaves, and she tries to find very broad ones. | 
As soon as she finds broad leaves of skunk-cabbages, | she breaks off 
the leaves; and when she has enough, she leaves them there | and 
goes on, carrying her basket on her back and looking for fern-fronds. 
When | she has found these, she puts the basket down, picks off the 
fern-fronds and || puts them into the basket. When it is full, | she 
ties down the top and carries the basket with fern-fronds | back the 
way she came. She picks up the skunk-cabbage on her way | home.
