eyak‘ilis, | for he was a liar. What I mean is, that | all the people 
believe that Hélagolsrla, | that Nimkish woman is: a shaman; for 
all the men | and women of the Kwag'ul are angry on account of 
what K’ !ésofyak‘ilis said || when he made fun of her, because Héla- 
golsrla only goes into the house of sick people | to cure them. | 
’ When a sick man or woman gets well, | the one who made him 
well never asks for pay, and generally they | are not paid. When 
the man is poor, then || he does not pay the shaman; but when the 
one who is cured is a chief, | then he would be ashamed not to pay 
the shaman, because he is a chief, for he would be made fun of by 
his | tribe if he did not pay the shaman. All the shamans act that 
way, | and not one of them names the price to be paid by the one 
who is cured,| forif itis acommon man who is cured by the shaman, || 
he generally pays two pairs of blankets to the shaman, hut | often 7 
he is not paid at all; and when (the patient) is a chief, | then the 
chief gives as much as is proper for the greatness of his position. | It 
depends upon his own wish how much he pays the shaman. | The 
shaman never names the price; for the shaman does not || talk about 
the chief if he does not pay him well, for | the tribe of the chief talk 
about their chief when he | pays little to the shaman. That is all 
about this. |
