﻿HISTORY 
  OF 
  THE 
  NEW 
  YORK 
  IROQUOIS 
  2?I 
  

  

  the 
  post 
  had 
  not 
  been 
  established 
  May 
  9, 
  the 
  Senecas 
  opposing 
  it. 
  

   De 
  Longueuil 
  expected 
  a 
  conference 
  at 
  the 
  Bay 
  of 
  the 
  Cayugas. 
  

   He 
  met 
  100 
  Englishmen 
  at 
  Oswego 
  Falls, 
  who 
  made 
  him 
  show 
  

   his 
  pass, 
  on 
  which 
  he 
  told 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  chiefs 
  they 
  were 
  no 
  

   longer 
  masters 
  of 
  their 
  own 
  country. 
  The 
  Five 
  Nations 
  awaited 
  

   him 
  at 
  Onondaga, 
  consenting 
  to 
  the 
  erection 
  of 
  a 
  stone 
  house 
  at 
  

   Niagara 
  and 
  the 
  building 
  of 
  two 
  barks 
  on 
  Lake 
  Ontario. 
  He 
  

   met 
  more 
  than 
  100 
  canoes 
  going 
  to 
  the 
  English 
  to 
  trade 
  and 
  heard 
  

   that 
  they 
  had 
  posts 
  on 
  the 
  Wabash. 
  The 
  Onondagas 
  told 
  him 
  

   they 
  had 
  agreed 
  to 
  the 
  English 
  going 
  to 
  Gaskonchiague', 
  or 
  

   Oswego 
  Falls, 
  6 
  leagues 
  from 
  the 
  lake. 
  Some 
  rules 
  were 
  made 
  

   about 
  trading 
  there, 
  but 
  these 
  were 
  soon 
  transferred 
  to 
  Oswego. 
  

  

  Governor 
  Burnet 
  held 
  another 
  conference 
  with 
  the 
  Six 
  Nations 
  

   at 
  Albany 
  Sep. 
  7, 
  1726. 
  They 
  said 
  the 
  Senecas 
  last 
  year 
  sent 
  

   them 
  a 
  belt, 
  that, 
  if 
  De 
  Longueuil 
  wished 
  to 
  make 
  a 
  settlement 
  

   at 
  Niagara, 
  Oswego, 
  or 
  elsewhere 
  on 
  their 
  lands, 
  it 
  should 
  be 
  

   refused. 
  De 
  Longueuil 
  said 
  that 
  his 
  bark 
  house 
  was 
  decayed 
  

   and 
  made 
  so 
  many 
  fair 
  speeches 
  that 
  the 
  Onondagas 
  gave 
  their 
  

   consent, 
  but 
  had 
  repented, 
  blaming 
  no 
  one 
  but 
  themselves. 
  The 
  

   land 
  belonged 
  to 
  the 
  Senecas. 
  One 
  nation 
  often 
  acted 
  in 
  the 
  

   name 
  of 
  the 
  rest, 
  but 
  its 
  action 
  was 
  void 
  unless 
  the 
  others 
  con- 
  

   sented. 
  The 
  Six 
  Nations 
  had 
  notified 
  the 
  French 
  that 
  they 
  must 
  

   not 
  build 
  at 
  Niagara. 
  They 
  now 
  came 
  howling 
  to 
  Governor 
  

   Burnet 
  because 
  of 
  their 
  encroachments. 
  

  

  Sep. 
  14 
  the 
  Onondagas, 
  Cayugas 
  and 
  Senecas 
  confirmed 
  the 
  

   Beaver 
  Land 
  deed, 
  and 
  also 
  signed 
  another 
  trust 
  deed 
  of 
  their 
  

   residence 
  lands 
  on 
  the 
  south 
  side 
  of 
  Lakes 
  Erie 
  and 
  Ontario, 
  60 
  

   miles 
  inland. 
  The 
  Mohawks 
  and 
  Oneidas 
  having 
  no 
  land 
  on 
  

   these, 
  their 
  signatures 
  were 
  not 
  required. 
  The 
  tract 
  began 
  at 
  

   " 
  a 
  Creek 
  called 
  Canahogue 
  on 
  the 
  Lake 
  Osweego, 
  (Erie) 
  all 
  

   along 
  the 
  said 
  lake 
  and 
  all 
  along 
  the 
  narrow 
  passage 
  from 
  the 
  

   said 
  Lake 
  to 
  the 
  Falls 
  of 
  Oniagara 
  Call'd 
  Cahaquaraghe 
  and 
  all 
  

   along 
  the 
  River 
  of 
  Oniagara 
  and 
  all 
  along 
  the 
  Lake 
  Cadarack- 
  

   quis 
  (Ontario) 
  to 
  the 
  Creek 
  Called 
  Sodoms 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  

   Senekes 
  and 
  from 
  Sodoms 
  to 
  the 
  hill 
  Called 
  Tegerhunkserode
