208 THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 
built the fire, he saw a man sitting there and he was looking at a string 
of elder berry twigs which was hanging on a pole horizontally placed in 
front of him. 
Then the Deputy Chief Warrior said, I am sent after you by the 
Lord, (Ro-ya-ner). 
The man did not answer, and then the Deputy Chief Warrior 
repeated the message of the Lord, three times, but the man did not give 
any reply. Then the Deputy Chief Warrior returned to the Lord, and 
when he arrived back he said to the Lord, He did not reply. 
The Lord then asked him, What did you see? Then the Deputy 
Chief Warrior answered and said, I saw a string of elder berry twigs 
hanging on a pole in front of him and he was looking at it. Then the 
Lord answered and said, I now understand, I shall therefore make a 
similar string of quills, which will cause him to come. The Lord then 
made two strings of quills and put them on a string. 
The Lord then said, I have now completed the strings and you shall 
both go after him and bring him here. You shall therefore take these 
strings of quills with you to him, and they shall become words and that 
will induce him to come. They then went on their journey and when 
they had arrived at the fire where the man was the Chief Warrior said, 
The Lord has sent us after you, and this string of quills are his words 
which are to bring you to him. 
Then Hah-yonh-wa-tha answered and said, This is what should be 
done. He then took the string of quills and said, After I get through 
smoking I shall go to the Lord. They then returned to the Lord and 
when they had arrived they said to him, that the man had now answered 
and that when he had finished smoking his pipe he would come to him. 
The Lord then told them to tell the people so that they would all 
assemble when the man would arrive. 
The Chief Warrior and the Deputy Chief Warrior then went to tell 
the people to assemble as soon as possible at the abode of the Lord. 
The people had therefore all assembled when Hah-yonh-wa-tha 
arrived. Then the Lord said to him, You have come amongst us and 
doubtless you have some important matter to convey to us. The people 
have already assembled and are prepared to listen to the matter which 
you may have to communicate to us. 
Then Hah-yonh-wa-tha said, I have come here to deliver to you the 
message of good tidings of Peace and Power, so that our children in the 
future may live in peace. 
Then the Lord said, We shall defer answering you until the return 
of a certain man whom we are waiting for, but in the meantime we 
desire that you shall remain in our village with us.
