Note 1 — Fights between the Tsimshian and Haida and among the northern Haida
Reading edition
The Skidegate people went once to trade at Port Simpson1 in sixty canoes. The Pebble-town people2 also went there. And they traded with dry halibut. They lived outside. There a Tsimshian, who was with a white man, came to them. Sticks were given around to them (the Haida). And afterward he took the sticks back again. They planned to destroy them during the winter. That was why they counted them.
