on. | She scatters these until they are level. When this is done, she | 
takes the fern-leaves and spreads them carefully so that they are 
thick. | After this she takes the skunk-cabbage leaves and | spreads 
them overthem. She bends the edges upwards inside the | steaming- 
hole, and she lays them so that they will not leak, one on top of the 
other. | When this has been done, she takes the large dish which 
holds the pounded || viburnum-berries, and she pours them into the 
steaming hole. When | this has been done, she puts down the 
empty large dish. She takes | broad leaves of the skunk-cabbage 
and spreads them well over what she is | steaming, and so that it 
does not leak. Then | she takes her bucket and pours the water in 
5 between || the leaves enveloping the viburnum-berries | which she is 
steaming, and the side of the steaming-hole. As soon as she has 
poured water all round it, | she takes more skunk-cabbage leaves, 
spreads them over, and | takes a mat, and she adds still more cover 
to keep the steam down. | After this has been done, she takes a large 
shell and scrapes the soil up, || and with it she covers the mats. 
That is all about the steaming of viburnum-berries. | 
When morning comes after the day when she steamed the viburnum- 
berries, and | when it is almost evening, the woman who steams the 
viburnum-berries takes the large dish | and pours some water into it.
