In the morning- the}^ were invited for tolmcco. There was no white 

 leuf tobacco in those days. Then mortars were brought out so that 

 the part of the house near the door was covered with them. The 

 tobacco was chewed, a liquid was poured over it, and it was mixed with 

 powdered shells. After that the names of those of the opposite phratry 

 to whom balls of tobacco wei'e to be given, were called out, for they 

 did not have any pipes at that time. Those who had received the 

 tobacco prepared to dance, and those who owned emblem hats, as 

 the raven or the whale, wore them. Now they started to carry up 

 the house tim])ers for the tirst of the houses of the Ka'gwAntan chiefs. 

 They carved the wolf posts and finished the entire house in one year. 

 It was named Wolf house from its posts.

 GfuiAxte'di, to Sitka for the KiksA'di, and to Kiliisnoo for the De'citan.
