therefore paper this Law. 11th If the men who are or shall be appointed to put the Laws in force, shall neglect their duty, or above their power, by doing injustice to any one under Color of their Authority, they shall make satisfaction to the party injured and be broke. And if any one threatens them for doing their duty or offers to commit violence upon their person, the party offending herein shall be punished at the discretion of the Chiefs of the town they may belong to. These are the Laws I have made for my Nation, and have given up on our old Laws that our old people had in their old ways. I hope they will raise our Nation, and make all our unclear people love one another, and love our white Brothers. And we have considered that we will make it the Law to love all other friendly Indian Nations as we wish to be friendly to all, as I am a friend to the United States of America. My lead warriors have agreed to these Laws, and have signed them with me, and I hope you our agent will also agree to them. Donald Thleaucotcheau?
