that it will be a proof, and so that the people may see your power. 
If you live to see tomorrow’s sunrise, then I will accept your message. 
Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, This shall be done. And he then 
climbed the tree and when he had reached the top of the tree he sat down 
on the branch, after which the tree was cut down and it fell over the 
cliff with him. Then the people kept vigilant watch so that they might 
see him, but they failed to see any signs of him. Then the Chief Warrior 
said that now his proposition had been carried out and that De-ka-nah- 
wi-deh had disappeared and now they would vigilantly watch at sunrise 
tomorrow morning. Then the Lord (Hay-yonh-wa-tha) said, We shall 
now return home. And when day dawned one of the Warriors arose 
before sunrise, and at once went to the place where the tree had been 
cut and when he arrived there he saw at a short distance a field of corn, 
and near it a smoke from a fire towards which the Warrior went, and 
when he arrived there he saw a man sitting by the fire, and after seeing 
the man he at once returned to the Lord (Hah-yonh-wa-tha) and when 
he had arrived there he said that he had seen the man sitting by the 
fire, and that it was the man who was on the tree which they had cut 
last evening. 
Then Hah-yonh-wa-tha charged him to convey these tidings to his 
colleagues and all the people, and to summon them all to come to him. 
Then the Warrior went at once and informed his colleagues and all the 
people and in a short time all the people had assembled. Then the 
Lord(Hah-yonh-wa-tha) said they would now call De-ka-nah-wi-deh, and 
he then commissioned the Chief Warrior and the Deputy Chief Warrior 
to go after him, and they then went to where De-ka-nah-wi-deh had 
his fire and when they arrived they told him that the Lord (Hah-yonh- 
wa-tha) had sent them to bring him and they would escort him to the 
home of Hah-yonh-wa-tha. 
Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, It is all right, I shall go with you. 
They then returned and when they arrived at the abode of Hah-yonh- 
wa-tha the Chief Warrior spoke and said, We have returned with 
De-ka-nah-wi-deh and he is now in your charge and the Lord (Hah- 
yonh-wa-tha) then said, I am now ready to accept the good news of 
Peace and Power, and it now rests with you as to your opinion in this 
matter. 
The Chief Warrior then said, I was in great doubt, but have now 
concluded to accept the good news of Peace and Power. Then Ro- 
ya-ner Hah-yonh-wa-tha said, Now see these matters are settled and 
finished. 
Then he said, You De-ka-nah-wi-deh can now listen to the answer 
we have concluded to give to you. In the first place then, we have 
adopted the message which you brought us, and we have jointly con-
