[scoTT] CONFEDERACY OF THE SIX NATIONS 205 
cluded to accept the message of the good news of Peace and Power 
and we have now concluded all we have to say, and the matter shall 
now rest with you. 
De-ka-nah-wi-deh then said, This day is early and young, and so 
is the new mind also tender and young, so also is the good tidings of 
Peace and Power and as the new sun of good tidings of Peace and Power 
arose it will proceed on its course and prosper, so also the young mind 
and the good tidings of Peace and Power shall also prevail and prosper. 
Therefore now in the future your grandchildren shall live in peace. 
Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, You, the Chief Warrior, you have 
the power in warfare, but now this is all changed, and I now pro- 
claim that since you had your doubts, you shall be now and hereafter 
known in the land by the name of Tha-ha-rih-ho-ken, (De-ka-ri-ho-ken) 
which means doubting or hesitating over two things which course to 
adopt. 
Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, You, the Deputy Chief Warrior, I 
charge you that you shall be called and known in the land by the name 
of Sa-de-ka-rih-wa-deh, (one who respects all matters as important 
equally) because you have concurred in and confirmed all that vou 
have heard. 
Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, I have now concluded and finished 
and I now leave this matter in your charge and care, and you can now 
proceed and proclaim the good tidings of Peace and Power. 
De-ka-nah-wi-deh then said, I shall now pass on and go East, and 
we shall meet again tomorrow to add to what we have already accom- 
plished. 
Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh passed on in his journey. 
Then in the Lord (Ro-ya-ner) Hah-yonh-wa-tha’s family, composed 
of three daughters, was the eldest taken ill and in a little time she died. 
Then the mind of Hah-yonh-wa-tha was troubled, then his colleagues 
and the people assembled at his home and condoled with him and 
admonished him to forget his sorrow, and he acceded to their desire. 
Shortly afterwards the second daughter took sick and in a short time 
died. Then the sorrow and trouble of the Lord Hah-yonh-wa-tha was 
greatly increased, then again his colleagues and people assembled at 
his abode and they again tried to induce him to forget his sorrow 
and trouble, but he could not answer them. Then De-ka-ri-ho-ken said, 
I will now tell you my mind. I think that we should look for some- 
thing which would console the mind of our Lord in his trouble and 
bereavement. Then he said, I would lay before you Warriors, for your 
consideration first, that you cheer him by playing a game of Lacrosse.
