Father, We will not conceal from you, that the Great Gods and not men has preserved the Corn Plant from the hands of his own nation. For they ask continually, where is the Land on which our children and their children after them are to lie down upon? You told us, say they, that the line drawn from Pennsylvania to Lake Ontario would mark it forever on the east, and the line running from Beaver Creek to Pennsylvania would mark it on the west, and we see that it is not so, first one and then another and take it away by order of that people which you tell us promise to secure to us; he is silent for has nothing to answer. When the sun goes down he opens his heart before God, and earlier than the sun appears again upon the hills , he gives thanks for his protection during the night; for he feels that among men, become desperate by the injuries they sustain, it is God only that can preserve him. He love peace, and all he had in store he has given to those who have been robbed by your people least they should plunder the innocent to repay themselves.
