You are not prostitutes.’”’ Thus he said to them. Immediately 
the four women went to where he was standing. Then Qasnomalas 
asked for | red cedar-bark for neck-rings and for head-rings, and also 
for | eagle-down. Immediately they went and gave it to him, and | 
he gave it to each of the four women. When they all had || neck- 
rings of red cedar-bark and head-rings, the shaman | Qasnomalas put 
eagle-down on the four women; | and as soon as he had done so, he 
separated the women, who had to go each | to one corner of the 
house. Now the women were standing there. | Then Qasnomalas 
spoke again, and said, “Bring || the grave-box into which you were 
about to put her whom I shall bring back to life, and the wrapping in 
which you were about to wrap her, | if she had been taken by ‘yayak’i- 
laga; for I-can see her | soul, which I shall put back.’ Thus said the 
great shaman. Then | they put down the grave-box which was full 
of blankets, which were to have been wrapped around her | who was 
to be brought back to life by the great shaman. And he asked for | 
some clothing of the sick woman who was to be brought back to life, | 
and for four dishes with sweet food. | AU this was put down where 
he stood. Then he asked one of the | Nak!wax'da‘x", another 
shaman, to come and break up the grave-box, | and to throw all on 
the fire in the middle of the soul-catching house. || Then the other 
shaman went carrying an ax and broke the | grave-box into pieces
