huckleberry feast, he says, | when he first invites the tribe, “I invite 
you to | come and eat the huckleberries of Breakfast-Food-Giver.”’ 
Then he sends the two | young men to call again; and they say, 
“We come to call youagain | to eat the huckleberries of Breakfast- 
Food-Giver;” for this name belongs to the huckleberry feast || when 
they are given at a feast to many tribes. They have to call | four 
times. for a huckleberry feast. When | the people come in, the host 
who gives the huckleberries at once gets ready, | and at the same 
time the guests begin to sing the songs. | Then they put the huckle- 
berries into the dishes, so that they are half full. || They take oil and 
pour it over them, so that it is one | half huckleberries and one half 
oil. After doing so, | they distribute the spoons; and when every 
one has his spoon, they put the | huckleberry-dishes one each in 
front of six men; | and after they have been put down, they |j all eat 
with their spoons, and they eat the huckleberries covered | with oil; 
and they do not stop until they have eaten all the huckleberries | and 
oil. After they have been eaten, they all go | out of the house. |
