Note 1 — A-slender-one-who-was-given-away

Reading edition

The hawk here referred to is called skiä′msm, or skiä′mskun, is described as of a bluish color, and is said to live on the higher mountains. Artistically, little difference is made between this bird and the thunder-bird, and the two are sometimes said to be identical. The custom here referred to is presumably connected with the potlatch, though I did not hear of it elsewhere. ↑
