is connected with this time. On liis way to Onondaga Father 

 Le Moyne met a war party going against the French, led by 

 Hotreouate', better known as Garangula to the readers of Golden. 

 He desired revenge for his imprisonment at Montreal. Soon after 

 a deputation of Onondagas and Senecas, going to Montreal, met 

 this party returning w^ith scalps. They had killed an ecclesiastic, 

 named M. le Maitre, and the leader wore his black robe. The 

 deputies hesitated about proceeding after this act, but Gara- 

 kontie' went on and was well received. The Relation of 1661 dis- 

 tinctly says that the priest was killed by this Onondaga chief. 

 Mr Shea said, giving no reason, " The actual murderer of Le 

 Maitre, Hoandoran, became a Ghristian, and died at the Sulpitian 

 mission at Montreal." 



The ambassadors turned back an Oneida war party, and for 

 a time the Iroquois turned their arms against the northern, south-

The English now aided the INIinqitas, according to report

 French, all of whom died fighting. In 1662 the Mohawks and 

 Oneidas sent a party against the Ottawas, which was defeated by 

 the Sauteurs, being surprised in the midst of a revel, and this 

 was long remembered, traditionally giving name to Point Iro- 

 quois near Sault Ste Marie. On the island of Montreal some Iro- 

 quois killed two prominent men. A party which went against 

 the Andastes or Minquas met with disaster, the Black Minquas 

 having come to aid their friends. They were so named from their 

 black badges. 



The English now complained that the Mohawks attacked the 

 Penobscot Indians and that 260 had built a strong fort there, 

 where they stayed for two weeks. Some English cattle were 

 killed, and the English came to Fort Orange about this. The 

 Mohawks were willing to give a wampum atonement, but would 

 not give up their captives and threatened to ravage Connecticut 

 if the English were not satisfied. Governor Stuyvesant, whom ,
