SECTION 55

"'Now another message. It is said that all your relatives and friends must be told.

"'It is said that when these rites are performed one person is to be selected to offer thanks 4 to the Creator. Now when thanks are rendered begin with the things upon the ground and thank upward to the things in the new world above. Afterward any one so inclined may arise and thank the Creator in the manner he thinks best.'"

So it is said. Eniaiehuk.
