﻿COUNCILS 
  AND 
  CEREMONIES

  ADOPTION

  wail 
  of 
  assent 
  — 
  from 
  the 
  upper 
  corner, 
  where 
  the 
  chiefs 
  of 
  the 
  

   elder 
  nations 
  sat 
  motionless, 
  with 
  their 
  heads 
  bowed, 
  during 
  the 
  

   whole 
  recital. 
  The 
  ceremony 
  had 
  taken 
  nearly 
  an 
  hour, 
  and 
  some 
  

   eleven 
  or 
  twelve 
  of 
  the 
  wampum 
  tokens 
  had 
  passed 
  before 
  it 
  was 
  

   completed.

  In 
  the 
  condolences 
  which 
  the 
  writer 
  has 
  attended 
  In 
  New 
  York 
  

   but 
  seven 
  bunches 
  were 
  used^ 
  quite 
  uniform 
  in 
  character, 
  some 
  con- 
  

   taining 
  a 
  little 
  significant 
  white 
  wampum, 
  but 
  no 
  strings 
  were 
  

   entirely 
  white. 
  The 
  tone 
  of 
  delivery 
  was 
  also 
  peculiar, 
  but 
  not 
  so 
  

   energetic 
  as 
  that 
  described 
  by 
  Mr 
  Hale, 
  nor 
  was- 
  the 
  ceremony 
  as 
  

   long. 
  A 
  set 
  of 
  Onondaga 
  mourning 
  wampum 
  was 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  

   illustrations 
  of 
  the 
  bulletin 
  on 
  wampum, 
  and 
  is 
  reproduced 
  here 
  as 
  

   figure 
  5. 
  Four 
  bunches 
  have 
  a 
  few 
  white 
  beads, 
  some 
  speeches 
  

   having 
  a 
  more 
  cheerful 
  tone 
  than 
  the 
  rest. 
  It 
  will 
  be 
  readily 
  seen, 
  

   however, 
  that 
  three 
  or 
  four 
  more 
  bunches 
  might 
  properly 
  be 
  used 
  

   in 
  this 
  song. 
  

  

  In 
  that 
  monograph 
  the 
  writer 
  erroneously 
  mentioned 
  52 
  chiefs 
  

   as 
  named 
  in 
  the 
  song, 
  instead 
  of 
  50, 
  the 
  actual 
  number 
  that 
  may 
  

   be 
  thus 
  raised. 
  In 
  one 
  song, 
  however, 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Dekanawidah 
  

   also 
  appears, 
  but 
  he 
  had 
  no 
  successor, 
  though 
  his 
  name 
  is 
  third 
  in 
  

   Morgan's 
  list. 
  This 
  error 
  he 
  corrected 
  in 
  1880. 
  All 
  the 
  lists 
  

   examined 
  give 
  50 
  chiefs, 
  as 
  numbered 
  in 
  the 
  version 
  here 
  used, 
  but 
  

   the 
  great 
  founder 
  of 
  the 
  league 
  stands 
  apart 
  from 
  these. 
  . 
  The 
  

   names 
  vary 
  much 
  in 
  the 
  different 
  dialects 
  and 
  a 
  comparative 
  list 
  is 
  

   given.
