our land from us, and now we
have but
little left. We will try to learn your way.
Brothers,
You know there are some
bad
people amongst us: and you know that we
have been
cheated, and that makes us bad,
and
our minds uneasy.
If we had not been cheated, we should
have been very rich people
and had plenty
of every thing: and then our minds would
be
easy, and we could think upon the Good
Spirit.
Brothers, The reason I mention to
you
about our being cheated some of my warriors win't
mind
what I say to them, but will have their
own way, because they
know I have often been cheat-
ed by the white people. If I had
never been cheat-
ed then my warriors would believe me, and
mind
what I say to them: but now they won't mind.
Brothers, we can't all go to work at
once
Some of my warriors will go a hunting to get
pro-
visions, and sometimes they break a gun, and
then it
takes a great deal of money to get a new
one. We have very few
hoes and axes and such
things amongst us, and we are not able to
get them.
Brothers,
I will go along with you
to Canan-
