The council fire was kindled in the wigwam of Black Hawk Tribe, No. 2, Covington, on the 13th of Buck Moon, G. S. 5617. Representatives were admitted from Tribes Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7. The long talks of the Great Chiefs were not copied in the proceedings, therefore no excerpts can be made from them. A committee of three was appointed to draft a constitution for the government of Tribes under the jurisdiction of this Great Council. Previous to this time each Tribe had prepared its own constitution as well as by-laws, subject, however, to approval by the Great Council. Chiefs for the ensuing Grand Sun were elected and raised up as follows: John Hughes M. W. Great Sachem Gregory B. Kiteley M. W. Great Senior Sagamore John B. Davies M. W. Great Junior Sagamore W. D. Turner M. W. Great Prophet Peter Ruhl M. W. Great Chief of Records A. J. Francis M. W. Great Keeper of Wampum A. J. Francis Representative to G. C. U. S.
