Great Spirit make our talk plain, that

Father, / have heard that you are

children who comes from the wig
vans of his people, with truth in his
heart and no lies npon his hips. I have
made many treaties with your Com
missiQners, and they have promised
many times, but have never kept their
promises; aud | have now come to
see my Great Father, myself, so that
we eaa understand each other, and
make no promises we do not mean TO

a murderer, but | do not understand
it in that light. You, Great Father

man has been the first aggressor
Father, we are not towards. We
know that you are great, and that
you can crush us with your mighty

] Great Spirit has smiled upon US, and
that the Great Father is the Indian
