The Pontiac Manuscript
Only the meat of deers and other animals which the Master of Life has put upon earth, is for eating. Besides, in making war to the English, thou hast made it to the French, in killing their animals and eating their provisions, and when they refused thee anything thou hast caused them to be plundered by thy people. We have not done the same. We have not relied upon the provisions of the French to make war. We have taken care when planning the attack upon the English to make our provisions for us, for our women and our children. You also should have done the same. Then you would not have to expect reproaches from our great father of France when he shall come.
