STATEMENT MADE BY THE MOHAWK AMBASSADORS

OF WHAT THE ONNAGONQUES PROPOSED TO THEM. THE 2d AUG. 1689. [Translation.]

Tahousaquathon, and Sanonquierese, and Anogranorum, and Owaidahare with 3 other Tionondoges, have informed us that the 4 Ouwenagonges proposed to them the following : 1.

Brothers of the 3 Castles -- We are now here together to converse with each other; we are now no better than boys in knowledge and experience. Heretefore we had knowledge, but the English surpass us in knowledge for they have treacherously slain our Sachems who possessed Wisdom. 2.

Brothers of the 3 Castles -- I stand here as one knowing nothing. I come to inform you that ye are now dead men ; ye and your whole household, the 5 Nations, and all true Indian Men -- for the Christians have banded together to subdue us all at once. There is no longer any Christian brotherhood; for they have all united against us, and ye must not thmk to find on the morrow any t-'hristian friends.
