  Dekanissora 
  said 
  they 
  were 
  going 
  to 
  fight 
  the 
  Illinois 
  but 
  not 
  the 
  

   others, 
  and 
  Frontenac 
  asked 
  for 
  a 
  general 
  council 
  the 
  next 
  year. 
  

   He 
  did 
  not 
  favor 
  holding 
  this 
  at 
  La 
  Famine. 
  At 
  a 
  conference 
  

   between 
  him, 
  the 
  Kiskakons, 
  Hurons 
  and 
  others, 
  the 
  Kiskakons 
  

   were 
  not 
  disposed 
  to 
  cover 
  the 
  grave 
  of 
  Annenhac, 
  the 
  Seneca 
  

   chief, 
  which 
  was 
  necessary 
  to 
  insure 
  peace. 
  

  

  In 
  September 
  1682 
  Dekanissora 
  wished 
  Frontenac 
  to 
  meet 
  the 
  

   Iroquois 
  at 
  Ochoueguen 
  (Oswego), 
  the 
  first 
  mention 
  of 
  that 
  

   place 
  by 
  name, 
  though 
  the 
  river 
  was 
  thus 
  known 
  earlier. 
  This 
  

   was 
  refused. 
  Farther 
  west 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  plundered 
  some 
  French 
  

   canoes. 
  Father 
  Lamberville 
  wrote 
  from 
  Onondaga 
  Sep. 
  22 
  that 
  

   Dekanissora 
  " 
  loves 
  the 
  French 
  ; 
  but 
  neither 
  he 
  nor 
  any 
  other 
  of 
  

   the 
  Upper 
  Iroquois 
  fears 
  them 
  in 
  the 
  least, 
  and 
  they 
  are 
  all 
  ready 
  

   to 
  pounce 
  upon 
  Canada 
  on 
  the 
  first 
  provocation." 
  They 
  were 
  

   gaining 
  men. 
  " 
  They 
  have 
  reinforced 
  themselves 
  during 
  this 
  and 
  

   the 
  preceding 
  year 
  by 
  more 
  than 
  Nine 
  hundred 
  warriors." 
  La 
  

   Salle 
  now 
  abandoned 
  Fort 
  Frontenac, 
  but 
  it 
  was 
  soon 
  occupied 
  

   again. 
  

  

  That 
  year 
  a 
  peace 
  treaty 
  was 
  made 
  at 
  Albany 
  between 
  the 
  Iro- 
  

   quois 
  and 
  Maryland. 
  The 
  commissioner 
  said 
  the 
  leader 
  of 
  the 
  

   depredating 
  party 
  was 
  certainly 
  an 
  Onondaga. 
  The 
  Onondagas 
  

   replied 
  that 
  both 
  leaders 
  were 
  killed, 
  but 
  made 
  satisfaction.

  Count 
  Frontenac 
  was 
  replaced 
  by 
  Governor 
  de 
  la 
  Barre 
  in 
  

   1682, 
  and 
  the 
  latter 
  was 
  instructed 
  to 
  invade 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  country 
  

   if 
  advisable, 
  and 
  prevent 
  their 
  attacking 
  the 
  Illinois 
  and 
  others. 
  

   Hence 
  came 
  his 
  disastrous 
  attempt 
  two 
  years 
  later. 
  In 
  May 
  

   1683 
  it 
  was 
  reported 
  that 
  500 
  Iroquois 
  had 
  gone 
  west 
  to 
  attack 
  

   the 
  Ottawas 
  and 
  seize 
  Michilimackinac. 
  They 
  were 
  to 
  be 
  joined 
  

   by 
  300 
  others, 
  but 
  found 
  the 
  post 
  too 
  strong.
