| dc.description.abstract | "The squaws gather roots, the camas, kouse, pe-ah-e and sowicht, cook the salmon and make great preparations. The ceremonial house is made of mats or reeds, the door always opening at the east end while at the top of the roof above the door are three flags. The center one is of blue, representing the sky. One is white for earthly light and the third is yellow for heavenly light of the spirit world. These are the sacred colors of the doctrine. Seated at the head or west end of the room is the master, in ceremonial dress. He has inherited his honor from a long line of ancestors. Behind him stands his interpreter. On the left three drummers are seated with their pum-pums. Three young squaws, wearing their native hats wait upon the table. The Indians are seated in a circle and before each one is a new mat, serving as a plate." | en_US |
