The Installation Song |  Protection of the House

The Installation Song

105. The song used in installing the new Lord of the Confederacy shall be sung by Adodarhoh and it shall be:

"Haii, haii Agwah wi-yoh
Haii, haii A-kon-he-watha
Haii, haii Ska-we-ye-se-go-wah
Haii, haii Yon-gwa-wih
Haii, haii Ya-kon-he-wa-tha

Haii, haii It is good indeed
Haii, haii (That) a broom, --
Haii, haii A great wing,
Haii, haii It is given me
Haii, haii For a sweeping instrument."

106. Whenever a person properly entitled desires to learn the Pacification Song he is privileged to do so but he must prepare a feast at which his teachers may sit with him and sing. The feast is provided that no misfortune may befall them for singing the song on an occasion when no chief is installed.

Protection of the House

107. A certain sign shall be known to all the people of the Five Nations which shall denote that the owner or occupant of a house is absent. A stick or pole in a slanting or leaning position shall indicate this and be the sign. Every person not entitled to enter the house by right of living within it upon seeing such a sign shall not approach the house either by day or by night but shall keep as far away as his business will permit.
