BOAS] SOCIAL CUSTOMS 761 
is used for the salmon-berry feast by a man—as soon as he has every- 
thing || in the box that the engaged women have picked, he calls | his 
tribe, for salmon-berries are only given to one’s own tribe. | They go 
at once and bring the oil, which is | placed on the floor. Now, I do 
not want to talk about it again, | for itis all the same as is done with 
the viburnum-berries || when they are eaten, as I first described when 
they are put into house-dishes, | and it is done in the same way with 
salmon-berries in house-dishes. I have seen here | the Kwakiutl 
when they do this, when they are eating salmon-berries | and oil out 
of house dishes. They first give to the Maiimtag‘ila, | and with 
them are the G'éxsrm; and the next are the Ktikwak!tim, together 
with the Séni!rm; ||and to the Layalatawa, together with the 
Laalax’s‘endayo. | Each of these had one carved dish; that is, when 
a salmon-berry feast is given by the Q!émoya*‘é, | and it is done in 
the same way when a salmon-berry feast is given by the Walas 
Kwakiutl: | for it is the same way for the viburnum-berry feast and 
for the salmon-berry feast. | There is only very little difference, for 
the oil is given in large ladles to the chiefs || to drink in the salmon- 
berry feast. That is all about this; | for there is no way in which 
they are cooked. | They have too much juice to be dried into cakes. 
That is the end. |
