﻿HISTORY 
  OF 
  THE 
  NEW 
  YORK 
  IROQUOIS 
  249 
  

  

  where 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Oneida 
  might 
  be 
  preserved, 
  but 
  the 
  Onon- 
  

   dagas 
  and 
  Mohawks 
  prevented 
  this. 
  Though 
  the 
  French 
  wished 
  

   peace 
  with 
  them, 
  the 
  Onondagas 
  resolved 
  that 
  none 
  of 
  their 
  peo- 
  

   ple 
  should 
  live 
  in 
  Canada. 
  One 
  of 
  their 
  chiefs 
  was 
  captured 
  at 
  the 
  

   gate 
  of 
  Schenectady, 
  and 
  a 
  proposed 
  council 
  between 
  them, 
  the 
  

   Oneidas 
  and 
  French 
  was 
  defeated 
  by 
  the 
  young 
  men, 
  who 
  wished 
  

   to 
  avenge 
  the 
  death 
  of 
  a 
  chief. 
  In 
  November 
  an 
  Onondaga 
  peace 
  

   embassy 
  went 
  to 
  Canada, 
  but 
  brought 
  no 
  prisoners 
  and 
  had 
  a 
  

   cool 
  reception. 
  It 
  did 
  not 
  speak 
  for 
  the 
  Mohawks, 
  and 
  Fronte- 
  

   nac 
  proposed 
  sending 
  an 
  expedition 
  against 
  them, 
  but 
  heavy 
  

   snows 
  prevented 
  this. 
  

  

  There 
  were 
  various 
  encounters 
  during 
  the 
  year, 
  in 
  which 
  four 
  

   western 
  nations 
  said 
  they 
  had 
  killed 
  ioo 
  Senecas. 
  A 
  French 
  

   party 
  w 
  r 
  as 
  destroyed 
  near 
  Albany 
  by 
  the 
  Mohawks 
  and 
  Mahicans, 
  

   and 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  were 
  everywhere 
  in 
  the 
  field. 
  The 
  French 
  

   heard 
  that 
  the 
  Baron 
  had 
  gone 
  to 
  live 
  near 
  Albany, 
  with 
  30 
  

   Huron 
  families. 
  He 
  went 
  to 
  Quebec, 
  but 
  sent 
  his 
  son 
  with 
  19 
  

   belts, 
  to 
  make 
  peace 
  with 
  the 
  Senecas. 
  This 
  was 
  done 
  in 
  spite 
  

   of 
  the 
  French, 
  who 
  gave 
  as 
  a 
  reason 
  that 
  the 
  English 
  sold 
  them 
  

   goods 
  cheaper 
  than 
  they 
  could. 
  Trade 
  affected 
  Indian 
  policy.

  Peace 
  had 
  been 
  declared, 
  and 
  early 
  in 
  1698 
  Black 
  Kettle 
  and 
  

   his 
  party 
  were 
  hunting 
  near 
  Fort 
  Frontenac, 
  having 
  made 
  peace 
  

   with 
  the 
  French. 
  There 
  were 
  over 
  30 
  Onondagas 
  in 
  the 
  band, 
  

   and 
  their 
  young 
  men 
  intended 
  going 
  against 
  the 
  Ottawas, 
  who 
  

   had 
  killed 
  100 
  Iroquois 
  in 
  the 
  past 
  year. 
  Frontenac 
  did 
  not 
  like 
  

   this 
  and 
  gave 
  orders 
  that 
  some 
  chiefs 
  should 
  be 
  quietly 
  secured. 
  

   They 
  were 
  surprised 
  by 
  34 
  Algonquins, 
  who 
  killed 
  20, 
  including 
  

   Black 
  Kettle 
  and 
  four 
  chiefs, 
  and 
  took 
  eight 
  prisoners. 
  The 
  

   scalps 
  and 
  prisoners 
  were 
  taken 
  to 
  Montreal.
