Red people was afraid of the White people, but on seeing them a few times, they ventured to speak to one another. When they got acquainted the white people planted Corn and agreed that the White people should feed the Red people and both the red people's fathers and the White people were to run a line through their Counrry.

We are ignorant people, we know nothing and had hardly any thing to eat, you have clothed us and fed us a long time. I am glad I have met with such a beloved man as you are - I have often heard of you before and of your good talks, but now I see you, and I find it is all true and I take you by the hand, as you have taken me. I hope we shall both keep fast hold in peace and friendship.

Brother. I am sorry to hear that our Red people have done so much mischief against your people. I will send all my people out the way, and I hope we shall meet sooner than you expect, in peace and friendship, to live like brothers.

If you have anything to give me and my people we shall be glad to have it. I have nothing more to say only that I will do as you have told and advised me. I know it is right and for our good.
