To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the centre of the village was the Council House, the place of meeting, of ceremonials and of trade, just as the Town Hall and Market are to-day in many a town.
We are given an interesting picture of the Council in a Mohawk village in New York : ''Sixty old men sat on a circle of mats smoking around the central fire. Before them stood the captives After passing the Council pipe from hand to hand in solemn silence, the Sachems prepared to give their views. One arose, and offering the smoke of ...114 THE IROQUOIS AND THE HURONS incense to the four winds of heaven, to invoke witness to the justice of the trial, gave his opinion on the matter of life and death. Each of the chiefs in succession spoke. Without any warning whatever one chief rose and toma- hawked three of the captives. That had been the sentence. The rest were driven to lifelong slavery. '' When the palisaded or stockaded village life was abandoned for the freer, more independent life of the great village, the location was gener- ally upon the banks of a stream so that there might be a plentiful supply of water, and in many cases easier transportation.
