206 THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 
Then Sa-de-ka-rih-wa-deh said, I will now tell you my mind, first 
that the people all assemble, this shall be done as our Lord has now 
only one daughter left alive. 
Then De-ka-ri-ho-ken confirmed all that Sa-de-ka-rih-wa-deh had 
said. 
Then all the people assembled at the home of the Lord (Ro-ya-ner) 
Hah-yonh-wa-tha and they then spoke unto him words of condolence 
so that he might forget his grief and bereavement. 
The Lord did not answer them. Then the Warriors decided that 
they would play a game of Lacrosse in order to cheer him up, and 
during the time that they were playing, the daughter of Hah-yonh-wa- 
tha came out of the family abode and went after some water and after 
she had gone half way to the spring she saw flying high up in the air 
above a beautiful bird, she stopped in her journey and the bird flew 
downwards towards her, she then cried out aloud and said, See this 
bird, after which she ran away. 
Then the Warriors saw it, and as it was then flying low, the Warriors 
followed it, and as they were looking at the bird they did not notice 
the daughter of Hah-yonh-wa-tha before them and in their haste they 
ran over and trampled her to death, and it transpired that the daughter of 
Hah-yonh-wa-tha was with child. 
Then Sa-de-ka-rih-wa-deh went and told Hah-yonh-wa-tha that a

visit of this bird that his daughter was killed. 
Then Hah-yonh-wa-tha answered and said, I have now lost all my 
daughters and in the death of this last daughter you have accidentally 
and unwittingly killed two. 
Then Hah-yonh-wa-tha further said, I shall now go away to the 
East, and he started on his way. He met De-ka-nah-wi-deh, and he 
(De-ka-nah-wi-deh) warned him of the danger on his way, with reference 
to a man who was watching as follows:— There is danger in front of 
you, there is a man watching on your way in front of you, and it is 
necessary for you to go up near to him without him becoming aware 
of your approach until you get to him. If you can get up to him 
while he is unaware of your approach, then we shall prosper in our 
mission. You will then speak to him and ask him what he is watching 
for. He will answer you and say that he is watching to protect the fields 
of corn as the people of other Nations, and also animals take the crops 
and he is watching so that the crops would be protected, so that their 
children might live on this crop. 
Then he (Hah-yonh-wa-tha) went on his journey and when he ar- 
rived where the man was sitting beside a fire near a big tree and watching
