I don’t know when the Spanish moss was good,

00:00:10,238 –> 00:00:14,413
maafookon “Wihhillaho̱, amaahilkak” kaahatohon,
but that’s when they said we would go find it,

4
00:00:14,413 –> 00:00:16,237
amaahilkak wihhilihchoolik.
and we would go find it then.

00:00:16,237 –> 00:00:24,537

We might have put the Spanish moss in a burlap sack.

00:00:24,537 –> 00:00:28,769
Kaamiifookok sthoyohkat stanthatohon
And then when we brought it home

whenever they found out if it was good.

8
00:00:32,824 –> 00:00:44,290
Nahok amaapok naho spatka talibookaahi̱ nahot achoolit nahoofookon,
My grandmother would sew it to make it into a bed (mattress),

00:00:44,290 –> 00:00:50,813

when that moss got to be ready we would stuff it all into the mattress.

10
00:00:50,813 –> 00:00:52,834

After we had done that,

11
00:00:52,834 –> 00:00:57,449

after we had closed it and sewed it, we put it aside.

12
00:00:57,449 –> 00:01:02,869
Paainnoochihchoolit kaamiifookok innihta nithaalip nahot
We slept on top of it and then the next morning,

13
00:01:02,869 –> 00:01:09,586
stonohkichit nahotilkaak stasihkat spiithilkatohok
we would roll it up into a bundle and tie it and put it up

14
00:01:09,586 –> 00:01:11,498

until night came

15
00:01:11,498 –> 00:01:16,261

and then we would spread the Spanish moss mattress out

and us kids would lay on the floor to sleep on it again.
