"'O Great Spirit, I pray you to look at us. We are your children,
    and you placed us first in this land. We pray you to look down on
    us, so nothing but the truth will be spoken in this council. We
    don't ask for anything but what is right and just. When you made
    your red children, O Great Spirit, you made them to have mercy upon
    them. Now, we are before you to-day, praying you to look down on us,
    and take pity on your poor red children. We pray you to have nothing
    but the truth spoken here. We hope these things will be settled up
    right. You are the Protector of the people who use the bow and
    arrow, as well as of the people who wear hats and garments, and I
    hope we don't pray in vain. We are poor and ignorant. Our
    forefathers told us we would not be in misery if we asked you for
    assistance. O Great Spirit, look down on your children and take pity
    on them.'"
