_They have generally been stiled the_ Five Nations _of_ Indians, _bordering upon_ Pensilvania _and_ New-York; _but, since the Arrival of the_ Tuscarora's _from_ Carolina, _they are called the_ Six Nations. _An Account of whom is as follows,_ 1. _The_ Conymkos _or_ Mohawks; _the first Promoter of the_ Confederacy.[3] _He is stiled in the Council of all the Nations,_ Dicarihoagan, _i.e._ President _or_ Eldest. [Footnote 3: The _Indian_ Idiom; they always stile a _whole Nation_ in the _singular Number_.] 2. _The_ Onayiuts _or_ Onoyders, _were the first that join'd in the_ Confederacy _with the_ Mohawks, _by putting themselves under their_ Protection. _He calls the_ Mohawk _his_ Father, _and in Return [Transcriber's Note: original has "Retnrn"] he is called a_ Son: _The_ Mohawk _used him for his_ Ambassador _to the_ other _Nations: In Council he is stiled_ Niharontaquoa, _or the_ great Tree.[4] [Footnote 4: A _Tree_ is their most frequent Emblem of _Peace_. To plant a Tree whose Top may reach to the Sun, and its Branches may extend over the whole Country, is a Phrase for a lasting Covenant of Peace.] 3. _The_ Onontago's _were the next that joined, and of their own Accord became_ Confederates; _they are therefore called by the_ Mohawks, Brothers; _and by the_ Onoyders, Fathers, _because they had not been forced into the Alliance as the_ Onoyders _were: He is called in Council_ Sagochsaanagechteront, _i.e. the_ Arms, _or_ Names-bearer. 4. _The_ Jenontowano's _or_ Sinikers _next joined in the_ Alliance _of their own Consent; they are stiled by the_ Mohawks _and_ Onontago's, Brothers, _and by the_ Onoyders, Fathers: _His Title in Council is_ Onughkaarydaawy, _whose Signification is not known, and_ Dyionenhookaraw, _i.e._ Open Doors for Friends and Enemies. 5. _The_ Caiukquo's, _the last of the_ Five-Nation _Alliance, being compelled thereto by the Rest, is_ Brother _to the_ Onoyders, _and_ Son _to the_ others; _is stiled in Council_ Ganunawantoowano, _or the_ great Pipe.[5] [Footnote 5: The _great Pipe_, or _Calumet_ of the _Indians_, resembles the Olive-Branch of Antiquity, always a Badge of Peace.] 6. Tuscarora's _joined in the_ Alliance _about thirty Years ago, being compelled thereto by the_ English _of_ Carolina: _He is_ Brother _to the_ Onoyders _and_ Cayukquo's, _and_ Son _to the_ others; _has no Title in Council, but is frequently called a_ Fool. _The_ Dependents _and_ Tributaries _of these Nations._ Mohickons, _who formerly lived on_ Hudson's _River, and in_ New-England; _they have been conquer'd by the_ Five Nations, _their_ Breech-Cloth _taken from them, and a_ Petticoat _put upon them. When they apply to their Conquerors, they humbly call themselves_ Women: _The_ Five Nations _call them by the same Name when they [Transcriber's Note: original has "thy"] speak severely to 'em: At other times they call them_ Cousins, _and are in Return called_ Uncles.
