  The 
  Mohawks 
  did 
  not 
  all 
  go 
  to 
  the 
  western 
  wars. 
  In 
  1650 
  

   they 
  asked 
  leave 
  of 
  the 
  Dutch 
  to 
  cross 
  their 
  lands 
  in 
  going 
  against 
  

   the 
  eastern 
  Indians, 
  feeling 
  bound 
  to 
  do 
  this 
  by 
  the 
  treaty 
  made 
  

   five 
  years 
  before. 
  This 
  was 
  not 
  yet 
  old 
  enough 
  for 
  full 
  confi- 
  

   dence, 
  and, 
  when 
  the 
  Tappan 
  Indians 
  came 
  to 
  Fort 
  Orange 
  that 
  

   year, 
  saying 
  that 
  the 
  Mohawks 
  were 
  about 
  to 
  attack 
  the 
  Dutch, 
  

   some 
  alarm 
  was 
  felt. 
  Labatie, 
  who 
  commanded 
  there, 
  was 
  asked 
  

   to 
  go 
  to 
  them 
  with 
  a 
  new 
  embassy 
  but 
  refused, 
  yet 
  deputies 
  were 
  

   sent 
  and 
  distributed 
  presents 
  to 
  the 
  amount 
  of 
  600 
  guilders. 
  

  

  In 
  165 
  1 
  the 
  Council 
  at 
  Quebec 
  proposed 
  an 
  offensive 
  and 
  

   defensive 
  alliance 
  against 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  to 
  the 
  people 
  of 
  Boston, 
  

   as 
  they 
  were 
  troublesome 
  to 
  both. 
  In 
  their 
  proposal 
  the 
  French 
  

   said 
  they 
  were 
  " 
  barbarous 
  Heathens, 
  who 
  have 
  neither 
  God, 
  nor 
  

   Faith, 
  nor 
  Justice 
  in 
  all 
  their 
  proceedings." 
  

  

  The 
  Hurons, 
  settled 
  near 
  Quebec, 
  became 
  presumptuous 
  at 
  this 
  

   time 
  and 
  raised 
  a 
  war 
  party 
  against 
  the 
  Mohawks 
  which 
  they 
  

   thought 
  invincible. 
  Some 
  Algonquins 
  and 
  others 
  joined 
  them, 
  

   but 
  they 
  were 
  defeated 
  with 
  much 
  loss. 
  There 
  are 
  several 
  base- 
  

   less 
  stories, 
  ascribed 
  to 
  this 
  period, 
  of 
  conflicts 
  and 
  treaties. 
  

  

  Father 
  Jacques 
  Buteux 
  was 
  killed 
  by 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  May 
  10, 
  

   1652, 
  while 
  on 
  his 
  way 
  to 
  the 
  White 
  Fish 
  nation. 
  War 
  continued, 
  

   generally 
  with 
  advantage 
  to 
  the 
  Iroquois. 
  When 
  they 
  defeated 
  

   the 
  Huron 
  party 
  mentioned, 
  they 
  took 
  Toratati, 
  the 
  chief, 
  and 
  

   burned 
  him 
  alive. 
  One 
  doubtful 
  act 
  increased 
  the 
  enmity 
  to 
  the 
  

   French. 
  A 
  hostile 
  Mohawk 
  party 
  on 
  the 
  St 
  Lawrence 
  began 
  to 
  

   make 
  proposals 
  of 
  peace. 
  These 
  were 
  distrusted, 
  and 
  one 
  of 
  

   their 
  canoes 
  was 
  seized, 
  with 
  three 
  men. 
  One 
  was 
  their 
  leader, 
  

   Aontarisati, 
  a 
  great 
  favorite 
  in 
  his 
  own 
  land, 
  and 
  the 
  Mohawks 
  

   wore 
  much 
  enraged 
  when 
  he 
  was 
  burned 
  at 
  Three 
  Rivers 
  after
