COUNCILS AND CEREMONIES OF ADOPTION OF NEW YORK INDIANS 389 



wail of assent — from the upper corner, where the chiefs of the 

 elder nations sat motionless, with their heads bowed, during the 

 whole recital. The ceremony had taken nearly an hour, and some 

 eleven or twelve of the wampum tokens had passed before it was 

 completed. Hale, p. 56 



In the condolences which the writer has attended in New York 

 but seven bunches were used, quite uniform in character, some con- 

 taining a little significant white wampum, but no strings were 

 entirely white. The tone of delivery was also peculiar, but not so 

 energetic as that described by Mr Hale, nor was the ceremony as 

 long. A set of Onondaga mourning wampum was one of J:he 

 illustrations of the bulletin on wampum, and is reproduced here as 

 figure 5. Four bunches have a few white beads, some speeches 

 having a more cheerful tone than the rest. It will be readily seen, 

 however, that three or four more bunches might properly be used 

 in this song. 



In that monograph the writer erroneously mentioned 52 chiefs 

 as named in the song, instead of 50, the actual number that may 

 be thus raised. In one song, however, the name of Dekanawidah 

 also appears, but he had no successor, though his name is third in 

 Morgan's list. This error he corrected in 1880. All the lists 

 examined give 50 chiefs, as numbered in the version here used, but 

 the great founder of the league stands apart from these. The 

 names vary much in the different dialects and a comparative list is 

 eiven.
