24. Ani-Aabawa miinawaa omaa Bapashkominitigong.
Its starting to warm up again on the Fond du Lac Reservation.
Ezhegiiwemagak

25. Mii azhigwa ji-ozhiga’igeyang.
Its time to tap Maple trees again.
Ezhegiiwemagak

26. Kawe dash gibiindaakoojigemin, maagizhaa gidashangemin gaye.
First however, we offer tobacco, perhaps we feast as well.
Ezhegiiwemagak

27. Mii dash ge-zhi-ozhiga’igeyang.
And then we tap Maple Trees.
Ezhegiiwemagak

28. Apii dash mikawad Ininaatig, giwii-pagone’aa, biiminigan aabajitooyan.
When you find a maple tree, you will poke a hole in him using a drill.
Ezhegiiwemagak

29. Mii dash ge-zhi-bakite’aman negwaakwaan biinjayi’iing Ininaatigong.
And then you tap the tap inside the Maple Tree.
Ezhegiiwemagak

30. Mii dash ge-zhi-agoodooyan agoojiganaabik imaa negwaakwaaning.
And then you hang the metal hanger on the tap.
Ezhegiiwemagak

31. Mii dash ge-zhi-baabiitooyang ji-ni-maajiigaag.
And then we (inclusive) wait for (the sap) to start running.
Ezhegiiwemagak

32. Apii dash mayaajigaag, mii ge-zhi-naadoobiiyang.
After (the sap) runs, then we collect it (the sap).
Ezhegiiwemagak

33. Jibwaa dash iskigamizigeyang, giwii-naazikawaanaan Zhingob.
Before we boil however, we will get Balsam Fir.
Ezhegiiwemagak

34. Zhingokaandag ji-ozhi’ang. Mii iwe ji-biitesinook iskigamiziganaaboo.
So we can make Balsam Boughs. That way the boiling sap won’t bubble/foam up.
Ezhegiiwemagak

35. Mii ge-zhi-iskigamizigeyang biinish igo zhiiwigamiziganaaboo aawang.
For sure we will boil it (sap) down until it becomes syrup.
Ezhegiiwemagak

36. Mii iwe gaa-pi-miinigooziyang gichi-mewinzha.
That is what was given to us long ago.
Ezhegiiwemagak

37. Mii sa iw!
That is all!
