9. "In a small clearing in the forest, a young woman is in labour. Two women companions urge her to pull hard on the cedar bark rope tied to a nearby tree. The baby, born onto a newly made cedar bark mat, cries its arrival into the Northwest Coast world. Its cradle of firmly woven cedar root, with a mattress and a covering of soft-shredded cedar bark, is ready. The young woman's husband and his uncle are on the water in a canoe carved from a single red cedar log and are using paddles made from lengths of yellow cedar. Wearing a cedar bark hat, cape and skirt to protect her from the rain and cold, the baby's grandmother collects berries. She loads them into a basket of cedar root and adjusts the broad cedar tumpline across her forehead and returns home. The embers in the centre of the cedar house leap into flame as the grandmother's niece adds more wood. Smoke billows past the cedar rack above, where small fish are hung to cure. The young girl takes red-hot rocks from the fire with long tongs, dips them into a small cedar box of water to rinse off the ashes, then places the rocks into a cedar wood cooking box to boil water. The young girl then coils two fresh diapers from soft-shredded cedar bark and goes to tend a crying baby, while the child's father prepares long, slender cedar withes to lash a stone hammer to. With the hammer finished he uses it to pound wedges into a cedar log to split off a plank for a tackle box to fit in bow of his canoe." Hilary Stewart's Cedar: tree of life to the Northwest Coast Indians (1984)

10. Look at me friend! I come to ask for your dress; For you have pity on us; For there is nothing for which you cannot be used...For you are really willing to give us your dress, I come to beg you for this, Long-life maker; For I am going to make a basket for camus-roots out of you. Kwakwaka ’ wakw prayer
