214 THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 
The people watched the two delegates start on their mission and 
saw them become transformed into the High-flyer (a species of hawk) 
and they arose high in the air and soared southward and when they 
had arrived where the smoke piercing the sky was, then they descended 
and alighted near the settlement and were retransformed and proceeded 
to the village. They enquired the abode of the Lord, and they were con- 
ducted to him and when they had arrived they saw a man, then the 
Chief Warrior said, Are you the Lord? And he answered and said, I 
am. Are you seeking for me? The Chief Warrior then said, Yes; we 
are looking for you. Then the Lord said; I will now ask you upon what 
errand you have come here. Then the Chief Warrior said, We are 
sent by the Lords (Ro-de-ya-ner-sonh) who invite you to go to the 
place of meeting of the Conference, and you are to take your power 
with you (meaning peace). You shall therefore invite the Lord who 
lives on the Great Mountain to accompany you. Then the Lord spoke 
and said, Where shall we meet in conference? And the Chief Warrior 
answered and said, By the lake. Then the Lord said, I have known this 
for a long time. I shall therefore now accept your message. Then he 
got his pipe and said, When I get through smoking I shall then go to 
the conference. And the Chief Warrior and his assistant saw the pipe 
which was an exceedingly large one and larger than any pipe which 
they had ever seen before. They then returned to their own settle- 
ment and when they had returned there, Oh-dah-tshe-deh asked, Did 
you discover the smoke? Then the Chief Warrior answered and said, 
Everything is all right, all is well, and we have discovered the object 
which you desired, when we saw the smoke we went there and when 
we arrived we found the Lord and we repeated to him fully all our 
message, and when he had heard all, he answered and said, I had known 
this for a long time that I am required to attend the said confer- 
ence and I now accept and approve the message. 
He promised to pass, on his way to the conference, the settlement 
at the Great Mountain, and the people there were to accompany him to 
the conference. Then Oh-dah-tshe-deh said, It is now time that Hah- 
yonh-wa-tha should return, and as soon as he returns we shall at 
once go to the conference. 
De-ka-nah-wi-deh had also gone to the settlement of the Great 
Mountain. And when he had arrived at the abode of the Lord of 
the settlement then he, (De-ka-nah-wi-deh) said, It is now very urgent 
that you should reply to the message which I have left here before. 
Then the Lord answered and said, The Chief Warrior and his Deputy 
have failed to unanimously agree with me to accept the message of good 
tidings of Peace and Power, but I am now totally at sea, and at a loss 
to discover any course which might lead me to overcome this difficulty.
