Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, It shall now in the future amongst 
us, the united Nations, be our custom whenever a Lord is to be 
created we shall all unite and take part in the ceremony. 
Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, And Ska-nya-dah-ri-yoh and Sa-deh- 
ka-ronh-yes shall be the uncles of Deh-ka-eh-yonh. 
We have now formed the Confederacy, and we shall now have two 
sets of Lords one on each side of the Council Fire. 
Then also Hah-yonh-wa-tha and Oh-dah-tse-deh, father and son, 
shall sit and face each other one on each side of the Council Fire. 
Then Ska-nya-deh-ri-yoh and Sa-deh-ka-ronh-yes shall sit on one 
side of the Council Fire and their nephew Deh-ka-eh-yonh shall sit on 
the opposite side. 
On one side of the Council fire shall then be seated Hah-yonh- 
wa-tha, Ska-nya-dah-ri-yoh and Sa-deh-ka-ronh-yes and on the opposite 
side shall sit Oh-dah-tshe-deh and Deh-ka-eh-yonh. And then he (De-ka- 
nah-wi-deh) said, And it shall be that we shall place Tha-do-dah-ho in 
the centre between the two sets of Lords in the Council. Then De-ka- 
nah-wi-deh said, We shall establish this relationship as follows:—You 
Tha-do-dah-ho shall be the father of Oh-dah-tshe-deh and Deh-ka-eh- 
yonh and Hah-yonh-wa-tha, Ska-nya-dah-ri-yoh and Sa-deh-ka-ronh- 
yes shall be your brethren and you shall be the principals of the Con- 
federation which we have just made and completed. The first matter 
which I shall lay before you for your consideration is, that, as clans are 
already established amongst the people, the several clans form a rela- 
tionship as brothers and cousins. And it came to pass that the Lords 
answered and said, We have now decided to adopt your suggestion. 
Then he (De-ka-nah-wi-deh) said, You Hah-yonh-wa-tha, shall be 
the first to name and appoint your colleagues, you are of the Turtle 
Clan and shall therefore appoint your colleagues of the same Clan. 
Then Hah-yonh-wa-tha said, This is now all ready, they have accepted 
and they are as follows:—De-ka-ri-ho-ken, Sa-de-ka-rih-wa-deh. Then 
De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, These shall therefore be your brother Colleagues, 
you of the Turtle Clan. And your brethren of the Wolf Clan shall be, 
Sa-renh-ho-wa-neh, De-yon-heh-kon and Oh-renh-reh-ko-wah. 
Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, Your Cousins of the Bear Clan shall 
be De-hen-nah-ka-re-neh, Ah-stah-weh-seh-ron-tha and Soh-sko-ha- 
roh-wa-neh. 
Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, You (Hah-yonh-wa-tha) have now 
completed appointing your Colleagues of your Nation, as the good 
tidings of Peace and Power first originated at Kan-yen-geh, you shall 
be called Ka-nyen-geh-ha-kah, (Mohawk). 
Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said to Hah-yonh-wa-tha, Now it shall 
fall upon your son Oh-dah-tshe-deh who sits upon the opposite side of
