wi-deh) reached the shore he came out of his boat and climbed up the 
bank. Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh asked the man what had caused them 
to be where they were, and the man answered and said, We are here 
for a double object. 
1st.—We are here hunting the game for our living. 
2nd.—Because there is a great strife in our settlement. 
Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, You will now go back to where you 
came from. The reason that this will occur is, because the good tidings 
of Peace and Friendship has come to the people, and you will find that 
all strife is removed from your settlement when you go back to your 
home. And I want you to tell your Chief and say that the Ka-rih-wi-yoh 
(good tidings of Peace and Power) has come and if he asks you where 
the good tidings of Peace and Power came from, you will say, that the 
good tidings of Peace and Power will come here ina few days. Then 
the man said, Who are you who is now speaking to me? 
Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, It is I who came from the West and 
am going Eastward and I am called De-ka-nah-wi-deh in the world. 
Then the man wondered and beheld his canoe and saw that his canoe 
was made out of white stone. 
Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, I will go and visit Tyo-den-he-deh 
first. Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh went down the bank and got into his boat, 
and passed on. Then the man also turned away, and when he came 
back to the camp he said, I saw a strange man coming from the lake 
with a canoe, his canoe is made out of white stone, and when he landed 
he came up the bank and I had a conversation with him. First, he asked 
me where I came from and when I had told him and he had understood 
every thing, he said, You will all go home, where you came from, there 
is now peace and all strife has been removed from the settlement. 
Then the party went home and as soon as they reached home, they 
went and told the Ro-ya-ner (Lord) and said that the good tidings of 
Peace and Power had come. Then the Lord asked who told him the 
message and he said that he saw a man who was called De-ka-nah-wi 
-deh in the world. Then the Lord asked again where the good tidings 
of Peace and Power was coming from. 
Then the man said again, It is coming and will come here soon. 
Then the Lord said, Where did you see the man? And he said, I saw 
him in the lake with his canoe. He came from the West and he is 
going Eastward. Then the Lord began to wonder and said, he thought 
that the settlement should remain in silence for all will be glad and 
satisfied. 
Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh had gone on his journey and had come 
to his destination where the great wizard Tha-do-dah-ho lived. 
This man was possessed with great power as a wizard and no man could
