The Indian house was not high; you see, the boards were short. And it was dug down into the ground. And there was a fireplace in the center. And on the inside boards were placed around. And their floor was just earth. And a ladder stood there inside. And they walked on that when they went outside. And the boards were short that the house was made with. And broad boards were put on the roof. And their door was low too. They didn't stand up when they went outside, they just crawled out.

And rocks were laid in front of the house. And on the inside, above the fire, little poles were stretched around. And they were made so that they dried fish there and whatever (else) they had. And on the floor were their cooking baskets and whatever else they had when they were going to cook. And only the men's seats were there. The women sat on the ground. Sometimes a deerskin blanket was spread, and the women sat on that. And the baby was inside a baby-basket. And sometimes it was held by its grandmother.
