When the pots and pans are dry
they are put in a hot fire. This makes them hard and strong.
The chief food of these Indians is a kind of flour made from the root
of a plant. They also eat fish. A great many fish are found in the
rivers. These they catch and eat. They also dry fish and then smoke
them over a fire. The smoked fish keep good a long time.
These Indians sail on the rivers in canoes. But their canoes are
heavy. They are not light, as the canoes of our Indians are. They are
not made of birch bark.
These Indians make an entire canoe out of a single tree. The canoe is
made thick so as not to be broken by knocking against snags and rocks.
