G. Place for storing ax, hay, wood, or any thing that could be piled or laid away.
H. Bed of Small Eyes, elder sister of Strikes-many-women; the bed here by the fireplace being the warmest was commonly reserved for an elderly person. (Small Eyes is probably the same as Red Blossom).
K. Corn mortar and pestle.
L. and M. Cache pits.
N. Platform of slabs on which were stored food, utensils, etc.
P. Lazy-back or native chair.
XXX. Small Ankle’s medicines, or sacred objects.
[Figure 31] is a diagram of Small Ankle’s lodge, as I remember it. My three brothers slept in bed E, but often Wolf Chief or Bear’s Tail and their wives would be away, staying at some other lodge, perhaps at the wife’s mother’s; sometimes they visited thus for a long time. The boys might then make use of the vacant bed of the visiting couple.
All beds were covered with skins, as I have before described to you.
Small children slept with their parents.
