The Indians fished for salmon in a certain way. First they made a fishing platform. It was made of poles. The poles were stuck into the river. And they were stuck in tight. And their fish-trap was made of little poles. And the net was tied on there. So when they fished, they sat there on top of the fishing platform. And they set their net into the water. And they tied a long string to the end of the net.

The net was made long. At the far end it was narrow. At the top it was wide. So when they set it into the water, when the salmon came up, then they ran into the net. When the salmon got to the end, the string quivered. Then the Indian pulled the net out of the water. He saw the salmon inside So he pulled it up (out). And he hit the salmon with a stick (to kill it). Then he carried it ashore. They caught the salmon that way.
