Most people have several names, for instance, old Guigwi was also called Salgai, or the firesticks, and Mrs. Children are usually suckled for about two years, but are soon able, in a great measure, to procure their own food, especially shellfish, and when strong enough to use the stick employed in digging up roots, they are supposed to be able to shift for themselves.
