6. Tuscarora's _joined in the_ Alliance _about thirty Years ago, being
compelled thereto by the_ English _of_ Carolina: _He is_ Brother _to
the_ Onoyders _and_ Cayukquo's, _and_ Son _to the_ others; _has no Title
in Council, but is frequently called a_ Fool.


_The_ Dependents _and_ Tributaries _of these Nations._

Mohickons, _who formerly lived on_ Hudson's _River, and in_ New-England;
_they have been conquer'd by the_ Five Nations, _their_ Breech-Cloth
_taken from them, and a_ Petticoat _put upon them. When they apply to
their Conquerors, they humbly call themselves_ Women: _The_ Five Nations
_call them by the same Name when they [Transcriber's Note: original has
"thy"] speak severely to 'em: At other times they call them_ Cousins,
_and are in Return called_ Uncles.

Delawares _are in the same Condition as the_ Mohickons, _were dealt with
in like manner; and are Tributary in an_ Indian _Sense._[6]

[Footnote 6: "All the Nations round them have for many Years entirely
submitted to them, (the _Five Nations_) and pay a Yearly Tribute in
_Wampum_: They dare neither make War nor Peace without the Consent of
the _Mohawks_. Two old Men commonly go about every Year or two to
receive this Tribute; and I have had Opportunity to observe what Anxiety
the poor _Indians_ were under, whilst the two old Men remained in that
Part of the Country where I was. An old _Mohawk Sachem_, in a poor
Blanket and a dirty Shirt, may be seen issuing his Orders with as
absolute Authority as a _Roman_ Dictator, or King of _France_." C.
