This item contains the story of the Great Law of Peace, lists of chiefs of the League, ceremonial chants (including Condolence Council), constitution and its acceptance (pages 1-200). There is a version of the same in Mohawk, with interlinear translations, names of principal families, and incomplete "aboriginal dictionary." This copy is duplicated from the microfilm of the original (Mss.Film.348), with marginal notes in pencil by William N. Fenton, and accompanying correspondence with the American Philosophical Society from Ray Fadden. The original is not at the American Philosophical Society, but now in possession of the Mohawk tribe.
