216 THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 
Then Hah-yonh-wa-tha said, Let us now proceed to the conference. 
They then went to the conference. Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, from 
where he was, I shall now return to my abode, and we shall all meet 
at the place appointed for the conference. Then the Lords,—Deh-ka- 
eh-yonh, Ji-non-dah-weh-hon and Dyon-yonh-keh, came from their 
settlement and when they arrived at the abode of Ska-nya-dah-ri-yoh 
they then said that the Lord had decided and arranged that they should 
call there on their way to the conference and that they were to invite 
him to accompany them. 
Then Ska-nya-dah-ri-yoh said, We are ready and we have been 
waiting for a long time. They then went on their way to the conference. 
De-ka-nah-wi-deh had arrived at the place of meeting first, and after 
him arrived Hah-yonh-wa-tha, Oh-dah-tshe-deh and their colleagues 
and shortly afterwards Ska-nya-dah-ri-yoh, Deh-ka-eh-yonh and their 
colleagues arrived; and after they had all assembled in conference 
De-ka-nah-wi-deh stood up and said, This conference met here com- 
posed of our Nations being now all assembled, you will therefore now 
first consider what we shall do with reference to this certain woman, 
our mother, who has not yet arrived. They then considered the matter 
and they decided that they would proceed with the business on hand 
and the matter would be in progress when she arrived. 
Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, The first thing we shall do will be to 
cross over the lake and it shall be Hah-yonh-wa-tha and Oh-dah-tse-deh 
and Deh-ka-eh-yonh and Ska-nya-dah-ri-yoh and Sa-deh-ka-ronh-yes, 
who are the rulers with power, who shall cross first. If these Lords can 
safely get across the lake and make Peace, then you, the whole dele- 
gation can cross. Therefore you shall now watch and you shall see a 
display of power, when they leave the shore in their boat. I shall 
therefore appoint Hah-yonh-wa-tha to guide the boat. They then got 
into the boat and he, (De-ka-nah-wi-deh) stood in front of the boat and 
Hah-yonh-wa-tha sat in the stern and the rest of the Lords then noticed 
that the boat was made of white marble. They then embarked in this 
boat from the shore and they had not proceeded far on their journey 
when they heard a voice calling out, A-soh-kek-ne——eh, and as soon 
as this voice had called out a strong wind arose and caused the lake 
to become very rough and troubled and great billows formed upon its 
surface and more especially around the boat. Then those in the boat 
became frightened and said, We are now going to die. 
Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh spoke and said, There is no danger because 
Peace has prevailed. Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh further said to the wind 
and lake, Be quiet and rest. Then the wind and the roughness of the 
lake ceased. They had not gone much further when the man across 
the lake (Tha-do-dah-ho) again called out, A-soh-kek-ne——eh, and
