W e send greeting to all mankind! Be it known unto all nations, that the
most ancient, most illustrious and most numerous tribes o f the red skins, lord of
the soil from the banks o f the great waters unto the tops o f the mountains, upon
which the heavens rest, have entered into solemn league and covenant, to make
preserve and cherish a firm and lasting peace, that so long as the water runs,
or grass grows, they may hail each other as brethem and smoke the calumet in
friendship and security.
