[SCOTT] CONFEDERACY OF THE SIX NATIONS 207 
the fields of corn, he asked him what he was watching, and the man 
answered and said, I am watching the fields of corn to protect them 
from other nations and from animals so that our children may live on 
the crop. Hah-yonh-wa-tha, then said to the man, You go and tell 
your Lord that the good news of Peace and Power has come, and he 
returned and told his Lord the message given to him by Hah-yonh-wa- 
tha. Then the Lord said, Who told you this news? Then the man 
who had been watching said, À man came to me when I was watching 
the fields of corn and he told me the news. 
Then Hah-yonh-wa-tha went to the other end of the corn field and 
met De-ka-nah-wi-heh. Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, We have now 
completed the (Ki-rih-wi-yoh) good tidings of Peace and Power, you

Then the Lord asked her, What was this man doing there?

He then summoned the Chief Warrior and the Deputy Chief Warrior

You shall go after the man who is by the fire beside the cornfield and
