branches of the Tree of Peace. There shall you sit and watch the council fire of the confederacy of the Five Nations, and all the
affairs of the Five Nations shall be transacted at this place before you. Roots have spread out from the Tree of the Great Peace, one
to the north, one to the east, one to the south and one to the west. The name of these roots is the Great White Roots and their
nature is peace and strength....
