When a person died, the man, appointed to bury the dead, came and carried the corpse to a suitable place, laid it between two puncheons, and covered it with rocks. Sometimes he buried a part, or the whole of the clothing etc of the deceased. He then returned to the house, (all the family having left it) and took the goard, & the furniture which happened to be in the house when the person died, & burned or buried them. He then took out all the fire, ashes etc, and made new fire for future use. (He was paid by the family for his services) He then took the family (all doubtless having taken emetics) to a stream where they all plunged seven times. They were then to remain by themselves, in some camp four days, after which they could return again to their house. The priests right hand man then sent a messenger to this family, with a piece of tobacco to enlighten their eyes and a strand of beads to comfort their hearts?, and a request for them to take their seats in the council house that night. The family then repaired to the council house, where all the town met them, and took them by the hand. After this the mourners might go home, if the chose, while the others continued their dance.
