Confederacy _with the_ Mohawks, _by putting themselves under their_
Protection. _He calls the_ Mohawk _his_ Father, _and in Return
[Transcriber's Note: original has "Retnrn"] he is called a_ Son: _The_
Mohawk _used him for his_ Ambassador _to the_ other _Nations: In Council
he is stiled_ Niharontaquoa, _or the_ great Tree.[4]

[Footnote 4: A _Tree_ is their most frequent Emblem of _Peace_. To plant
a Tree whose Top may reach to the Sun, and its Branches may extend over
the whole Country, is a Phrase for a lasting Covenant of Peace.]

3. _The_ Onontago's _were the next that joined, and of their own Accord
became_ Confederates; _they are therefore called by the_ Mohawks,
Brothers; _and by the_ Onoyders, Fathers, _because they had not been
forced into the Alliance as the_ Onoyders _were: He is called in
Council_ Sagochsaanagechteront, _i.e. the_ Arms, _or_ Names-bearer.

4. _The_ Jenontowano's _or_ Sinikers _next joined in the_ Alliance _of
their own Consent; they are stiled by the_ Mohawks _and_ Onontago's,
Brothers, _and by the_ Onoyders, Fathers: _His Title in Council is_
Onughkaarydaawy, _whose Signification is not known, and_
Dyionenhookaraw, _i.e._ Open Doors for Friends and Enemies.

5. _The_ Caiukquo's, _the last of the_ Five-Nation _Alliance, being
compelled thereto by the Rest, is_ Brother _to the_ Onoyders, _and_ Son
_to the_ others; _is stiled in Council_ Ganunawantoowano, _or the_ great
Pipe.[5]

[Footnote 5: The _great Pipe_, or _Calumet_ of the _Indians_, resembles
the Olive-Branch of Antiquity, always a Badge of Peace.]
