Covenant of Peace.]

3. _The_ Onontago's _were the next that joined, and of their own Accord
became_ Confederates; _they are therefore called by the_ Mohawks,
Brothers; _and by the_ Onoyders, Fathers, _because they had not been
forced into the Alliance as the_ Onoyders _were: He is called in
Council_ Sagochsaanagechteront, _i.e. the_ Arms, _or_ Names-bearer.

4. _The_ Jenontowano's _or_ Sinikers _next joined in the_ Alliance _of
their own Consent; they are stiled by the_ Mohawks _and_ Onontago's,
Brothers, _and by the_ Onoyders, Fathers: _His Title in Council is_
Onughkaarydaawy, _whose Signification is not known, and_
Dyionenhookaraw, _i.e._ Open Doors for Friends and Enemies.

5. _The_ Caiukquo's, _the last of the_ Five-Nation _Alliance, being
compelled thereto by the Rest, is_ Brother _to the_ Onoyders, _and_ Son
_to the_ others; _is stiled in Council_ Ganunawantoowano, _or the_ great
Pipe.[5]

[Footnote 5: The _great Pipe_, or _Calumet_ of the _Indians_, resembles
the Olive-Branch of Antiquity, always a Badge of Peace.]

6. Tuscarora's _joined in the_ Alliance _about thirty Years ago, being
compelled thereto by the_ English _of_ Carolina: _He is_ Brother _to
the_ Onoyders _and_ Cayukquo's, _and_ Son _to the_ others; _has no Title
in Council, but is frequently called a_ Fool.

_The_ Dependents _and_ Tributaries _of these Nations._

Mohickons, _who formerly lived on_ Hudson's _River, and in_ New-England;
_they have been conquer'd by the_ Five Nations, _their_ Breech-Cloth
_taken from them, and a_ Petticoat _put upon them. When they apply to
their Conquerors, they humbly call themselves_ Women: _The_ Five Nations
_call them by the same Name when they [Transcriber's Note: original has
"thy"] speak severely to 'em: At other times they call them_ Cousins,
_and are in Return called_ Uncles.

Delawares _are in the same Condition as the_ Mohickons, _were dealt with
in like manner; and are Tributary in an_ Indian _Sense._[6]

[Footnote 6: "All the Nations round them have for many Years entirely
submitted to them, (the _Five Nations_) and pay a Yearly Tribute in
_Wampum_: They dare neither make War nor Peace without the Consent of
the _Mohawks_. Two old Men commonly go about every Year or two to
receive this Tribute; and I have had Opportunity to observe what Anxiety
the poor _Indians_ were under, whilst the two old Men remained in that
Part of the Country where I was. An old _Mohawk Sachem_, in a poor
