Morgan, " an active, well-established cus- tom of Indian society, practised among themselves and among strangers from other tribes. " It was based upon the commu- nistic principle referred to by Heckewelder the Moravian, and with the Indians, he says, " hospitality was not a virtue but a strict duty. . . . They give and are hospitable to all with- out exception, and will always share with each other and often with the stranger, to the last morsel. " " They rather would lie down themselves on an... empty stom- ach, " declares the good Moravian, " than have it laid down to their charge that they had neglected their duty by not satisfy- ing the wants of the stranger, the sick or the needy. " The substance of the Iroquois law of hospitality, according to Mr. Morgan, is as follows: "If a man entered an Indian o house, whether a villager, a tribesman, or a stranger, and at whatever hour of the day, it was the duty of the women of the house to set food before him. An omission to do this would have been a discourtesy amounting to an affront.
