  " 
  no 
  Person 
  of 
  Note, 
  that 
  had 
  any 
  Influence 
  on 
  the 
  Indians, 
  

   went." 
  

  

  This 
  council 
  met 
  at 
  Onondaga, 
  Jan. 
  22, 
  1690, 
  with 
  80 
  sachems 
  

   present, 
  Sadekanaghtie' 
  presiding. 
  Frontenac 
  notified 
  them 
  of 
  

   his 
  return 
  with 
  13 
  Indians 
  who 
  had 
  been 
  carried 
  to 
  France. 
  

   Adarahta, 
  chief 
  sachem 
  of 
  the 
  French 
  Iroquois, 
  spoke 
  on 
  three 
  

   belts, 
  and 
  others 
  followed. 
  The 
  Seneca 
  chief, 
  Cannehoot, 
  gave 
  

   an 
  account 
  of 
  negotiations 
  with 
  western 
  Indians, 
  who 
  gave 
  " 
  a 
  

   red 
  Marble 
  Sun 
  as 
  large 
  as 
  a 
  Plate," 
  and 
  " 
  a 
  large 
  Pipe 
  of 
  red 
  

   Marble." 
  

  

  After 
  the 
  Seneca 
  Speaker 
  had 
  done, 
  the 
  Wagunha 
  Presents 
  

   were 
  hung 
  up 
  in 
  the 
  House, 
  in 
  the 
  Sight 
  of 
  the 
  whole 
  Assembly, 
  

   and 
  afterwards 
  distributed 
  among 
  the 
  several 
  Nations, 
  and 
  their 
  

   Acceptance 
  was 
  a 
  Ratification 
  of 
  the 
  Treaty. 
  xA 
  large 
  Belt 
  was 
  

   given 
  also 
  to 
  the 
  Albany 
  Messengers 
  as 
  their 
  Share. 
  The 
  Belt 
  

   of 
  Wampum 
  sent 
  from 
  Albany 
  was 
  in 
  like 
  Manner 
  hanged 
  up, 
  

   and 
  afterwards 
  divided. 
  New-England, 
  which 
  the 
  Indians 
  call 
  

   Kinshon, 
  (that 
  is 
  a 
  Fish) 
  sent 
  likewise 
  the 
  Model 
  of 
  a 
  Fish, 
  as 
  a 
  

   token 
  of 
  their 
  adhering 
  to 
  the 
  general 
  Covenant. 
  This 
  Fish 
  

   was 
  handed 
  round 
  among 
  the 
  Sachems, 
  and 
  then 
  laid 
  aside 
  to 
  

   be 
  put 
  up. 
  

  

  They 
  rejected 
  the 
  French 
  alliance, 
  but 
  would 
  not 
  give 
  up 
  Milet 
  

   to 
  the 
  English. 
  ' 
  The 
  Indians 
  were 
  resolved 
  to 
  keep 
  all 
  the 
  

   Means 
  of 
  making 
  Peace 
  in 
  their 
  own 
  Hands," 
  and 
  Milet 
  had 
  a 
  

   choice 
  of 
  masters. 
  

  

  About 
  this 
  time 
  mention 
  was 
  made 
  of 
  the 
  settlement 
  of 
  some 
  

   Mahicans 
  at 
  Schaghticoke, 
  nearly 
  20 
  years 
  earlier 
  ; 
  according 
  to 
  

   Colden 
  in 
  1672. 
  Now 
  r 
  , 
  too, 
  it 
  became 
  customary 
  to 
  send 
  black- 
  

   smiths 
  to 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  towns, 
  and 
  references 
  to 
  this 
  are 
  frequent. 
  

   This 
  led 
  to 
  amusing 
  disputes, 
  for 
  it 
  was 
  a 
  matter 
  of 
  political 
  

   importance 
  whether 
  these 
  smiths 
  wexe 
  French 
  or 
  English.
