[SCOTT] CONFEDERACY OF THE SIX NATIONS 215 
The reason why we are thus placed in this difficulty is that the Chief 
Warrior and his Deputy who have the power and control of the people 
have disagreed with us to accept the message. 
Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, That which has occurred with you 
will not make any difference. The reason why it will not make any 
difference is, that you (the Lord) have accepted the message. You are 
not alone, for they are many who have now accepted the message who 
will assist you to consider the difficulty in which you are now placed. 
Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, You will now notify the Lord whose 
abode is on the other side of the river, that it is now urgent for him to 
come over the river, so that we might meet together here. Then the 
Lord sent a messenger to notify the Lord whose abode was on the other 
side of the river, and shortly after the Lord arrived at the appointed 
place. Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, We have now all met together, I will 
now therefore ask your mind on the matter in question. 
Then the Lord who had come from over the river spoke first and 
said, We Lords on either side of the river have decided to accept your 
message which you left. The only difficulty we have now to contend 
with is that the Chief Warrior and his Deputy have failed to agree with 
us to accept the message, and they have the power and control of the 
people, and we Lords on either side of the river are totally at sea and 
fail to see a way out of the difficulty. Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, I 
now fully understand everything and I will now tell you with reference 
to this matter which has occurred with you, for you are not alone who 
have accepted the message of good tidings of Peace and Power. There- 
fore, owing to that which occurred to you, you (the Lord) whose abode 
is on this side of the river and to whom the message first came shall be 
known in the land by the name of Ska-nya-dah-ri-yoh. Then he said, 
And you the Lord who came from over the river who has agreed in 
mind with your colleague on this side of the river shall be called in the 
land by the name of Sa-deh-ka-ronh-yes. Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh 
said, This is now all completed. The only thing now is for you to get 
ready, in a little while a man will come whom you will accompany to 
the conference. They then heard the man call A-soh-kek-ne——eh; 
(It is not yet). 
Then Hah-yonh-wa-tha distinctly heard where he was. Then he 
(Hah-yonh-wa-tha) said to his colleagues, The time is now come that we 
should go to the conference. They then started to go to the place 
appointed for the conference and when they had arrived at the place 
where the log (the Lord Oh-dah-tshe-deh) was lying across the path, 
Oh-dah-tse-deh said, We have been impatiently waiting, for we 
heard the man calling with a loud voice now for a long time at the 
place appointed for the meeting of the conference.
