THE CONSTITUTION OF THE FIVE NATIONS 51 



the Confederate Lords shall order one of their war chiefs to repri- 

 mand him or them and if a similar offence is again committed the 

 offending party or parties shall be expelled from the territory of 

 the Five United Nations. (XXVI-119, EUC). 



• 75 When a member of an alien nation comes to the territory 

 of the Five Nations and seeks refuge and permanent residence, the 

 Lords of the Nation to which he comes shall extend hospitality and 

 make him a member of the nation. Then shall he be accorded equal 

 rights and privileges in all matters except as after mentioned. 

 (XXXVII-120, EUC). 



76 No body of alien people who have been adopted temporarily 

 shall have a vote in the council of the Lords of the Confederacy, 

 for only they who have been invested with Lordship titles may 

 vote in the Council. Aliens have nothing by blood to make claim 

 to a vote and should they have it, not knowing all the traditions 

 of the Confederacy, might go against its Great Peace. In this 

 manner the Great Peace would be endangered and perhaps be 

 destroyed. (XXXVIII-121, EUC). 



yy When the Lords of the Confederacy decide to admit a foreign 

 nation and an adoption is made, the Lords shall inform the adopted 

 nation that its admission is only temporary. They shall also say 

 to the nation that it must never try to control, to interfere with 

 or to injure the Five Nations nor disregard the Great Peace or 

 any of its rules or customs. That in no way should they cause 

 disturbance or injury. Then should the adopted nation disregard 

 these injunctions, their adoption shall be annulled and they shall 

 be expelled. 



The expulsion shall be in the following manner: The council 

 shall appoint one of their War Chiefs to convey the message of 

 annulment and he shall say, "You (naming the nation) listen to 

 me while I speak. I am here to inform you again of the will of the 

 Five Nations' Council. It was clearly made known to you at a 

 former time. Now the Lords of the Five Nations have decided 

 to expel you and cast you out. We disown you now and annul 

 your adoption. Therefore you must look for a path in which to 

 go and lead away all your people. It was you, not we, who com- 

 mitted wrong and caused this sentence of annulment. So then 

 go your way and depart from the territory of the Five Nations 

 and from the Confederacy." (XXXIX-122, EUC). 



78 Whenever a foreign nation enters the Confederacy or accepts 

 the Great Peace, the Five Nations and the foreign nation shall
