the bear's head.

Monnie gave her a leather string with a lucky stone tied to it.
Koolee put that on the bear's head too.

Then she said, "There! In five days' time the bear's spirit will
give the shadows of these things to your grandfather. Then we can
eat the head, but not until we are sure the bear's spirit has
reached the home of the Dead."

"That is well," the Angakok said to the twins, when Koolee had
finished. "Your grandfather will be pleased with your presents, I
know. Your grandfather was a just man. I knew him well. He always
paid great respect to me. Whenever he brought a bear home he
gave me not only a hind leg, but the liver as well! I should not
be surprised if he sent the bear this way, knowing how fond I am
of bear's liver."

The Angakok placed his hand on his stomach and rolled up his
eyes. "But times are not what they once were," he went on.
"People care now only for their own stomachs! They would rather
have the liver themselves than give it to the Angakok! They will
be sorry when it is too late."

He shook his head and heaved a great
sigh. Koolee looked at Kesshoo. She was
very anxious. Kesshoo went out at once
to the storehouse. He climbed to the top
and got the liver.
