The roof of the dance house was constructed in the following 

 manner: About the crotched top of the center-pole was tied a loop, 

 called dako' (E), of white oak, which served to hold in place the long 

 poles used as rafters. The poles were bound to the stringers, and 

 wherever else necessary, with grape-vine, ce (N, C, E), or withes from 

 a bush called ko'tl kale. All poles were made of a wood called bako'iyup 

 (E), and were always laid on the roof in diametrically opposed pairs. 

 Beginning with the pair comprising the main front and rear poles, 

 they were laid on so that each pair bisected two diametrically opposed 

 existing angles. On these rafters were placed four horizontal rows 

 of poles, called coko'Hi (E), each row forming a complete circle about 

 the roof and all spaced equidistantly. 1 Next, a layer of woven twigs, 

 called la'xowl (E), was placed horizontally on the rafters. Then a 

 similar layer was laid on vertically. This was followed by a layer of 

 tule matting made by the women. Each of these mats was placed 



1 Professor Holmes, in his "Anthropological Studies in California" (Report U. S. Nat. Mus., 

 1900), shows drawings (pi. 17, figs. 1 and 2) in which a somewhat different arrangement of rafters 

 is illustrated. This was probably sometimes used, but the arrangement above mentioned was the 

 more usual one.
