Then they open it (the assembly); the wigwam is called "everyone speaks." Then at length they begin to consider. Every councillor relates what had been done and how they had continued to fight; how every one had suffered through the long wars; (they advise) that now it is time that they should consider and that we take pity on their women and children and on the maimed. These had always suffered just like the strong men and warriors. Then when all had spoken, then they decide that they should make a big fence and then that they should put in the middle, a big wigwam, in the enclosure. Then they make a stick; they put their father there; then whoever disobeys he punishes (him), the one who is his child in the enclosure. Everyone obeys him and he always keeps up that big fire so that it shall not go out. After this begin the Wampum Laws.
Those fences which they set up that is a general treaty of peace for all nations of Indians, fourteen tribes, but many clans. All these Indians must go and live in the enclosure. If anyone does anything evil, he must be punished; his parent will punish him with that stick. After they are civilized, then whoever lives in the enclosure must obey whatever are the laws, or be punished. That wigwam which is set in the enclosure means that all sorts of Indians whatsoever must live peacefully. Not again shall they quarrel; they must live like brothers (and) sisters with one parent. Then the big fire which they put in the wigwam means that everyone there who live together, the Indians there who are by the fire shall act well; not any more ever(?) shall they sin. Now their parent who is in this wigwam, that is the great chief at Caughnawauga. That fence and stick mean the Wampum Laws. Those who disobey must all suffer together according to what is decreed. This is everything which they did.
