I pounded acorns. When I struck, I closed my eyes. The priest came up there. And he struck three times. Then he went outside. He went a little ways downriver. He looked downriver, he looked at the river. He looked out across the water, he looked at the river. He looked at the river, he prayed. And we two (priestesses) stayed inside. We kept our eyes closed.

Then he strode upriverward, just downhill from the house. He went to kasóohraam. He went to make a fire there. We were going to leach (acorn meal) soon. Then he came from downhill there. He went uphill to the fireplaces.

Then I pounded the acorn meats. I finished everything. Then we two ourselves went downhill to kasóohraam. In burden baskets we carried cooking baskets and tray baskets and soup stirrers and dippers, and we carried a stool. Later on, when the priest came back, he was going to sit on that. When he put the stool down on the ground, he was making the world firm.

We two stayed fasting for two days and a night. And we didn't drink water. Then in the morning we were going to leave, and we wore our hair bound with fir boughs. It was just becoming day. And we covered our leaching-hole. And we stuck in the fir boughs from our hair-binding. Then we took up our burden baskets, we went back uphill with everything. We went back to the sacred sweathouse. We all came back up, (including) the priest and the assistant priest. Everyone looked at us. They gathered there. Everyone jumped around. They felt good.

We all lived in the sweathouse for five days. In the evening we bathed in (the pond called) ukrámkaam. And we whipped our hair with syringa, (thinking), "Let our hair grow long!" (Then) we tied up the syringa, we hid it in a hollow tree uphill.

Downhill they were celebrating the world renewal, it was world-renewal time by then. There was gambling. They did the deerskin dance. And they did the war dance. And they cooked acorn soup. They barbecued salmon.

(Previously) they burned brush on the mountain (i.e., Mount Offield). Then they came back downhill. The mountain is a person. It's an ikxaréeyav (a divine person, a god).
