The Pontiac Manuscript
not to fight amongst each other; not to make medicine, but pray instead, because in making medicine they speak to the evil spirit to drive from off their lands those dogs clothed in red, who never have done aught but evil; and if you have need of anything address me as your brothers do, I shall give to you as to them, but not for selling to your brothers that which I have put on earth for nourishment—in short, become good and you shall want nothing needful. When you meet one another, salute; do not give him the [left hand, but the] hand of the heart. Before all things, I command that you say every day, morning and evening, the prayer which I have given you.
