n by their great father nor by me.--Take courage my
children--be strong--and may the Great Spirit preserve you in the
day of battle." (Here the bloody belt is presented.)

After the interpreter had presented the belt to NEWASH, he with several
of the chiefs chaunted parts of the war song:

"Under the Cloud Island
With this belt I go;
By this my heart is strong,
I shall have courage to die by the foe.

"Now I take hold of this belt,
Light as birds fly in the air;
Strong is my heart, and round I go,
Seeking to die by the foe."

While this song was chaunting, several short speeches were made by the
Indians. One of them said--"There is our father--here is the
belt--there you are--the Great Spirit presides--now we are one, and
none can flinch--if we stand by our father, he will stand by us. Our
path is in the west--the war shall brighten there--the sky begins to
clear--the light falls on our lands, and soon again shall our women and
children be on them. You Saulks--you Chippeways, and all you of
different nations, we are all one. We will fight them with our father,
and never cease to fight while we have life, or until we have got back
our lands."

The names of twelve Indian chiefs, inhabiting the coast of Acadia at
the time the French peasants submitted to the British Government, will
be found in the appendix to this work.
