All were of the Iroguois stock and | they were the most powerful in America. The four potentates. among whom Tee Yee Noen Ho Ga Row ranked highest, as Emperor of the Six Na tions, created a tremendous stir in London. Soon after their arrival a leaflet was published in London by | John Baker, at the Black Bov, in Paternoster Row, which stated: “Four Kings of Canada; an account | from North America.

For several yvears after the visit of these Indians it was the custom ai masques and balls to assume their characters and costumes: and therc was also issuedl a sheet ballad re lating_how “a heautiful lady™ fell in love with one of the Tndians. In the etching of Tee Yee Neen Ho Ga Row. the Emperor is shown holdinz the beaded wampum in his right hand A cast-down tomahawk, at his feet gave further indication of amity of the Six Nations. The painting from which the etching was made was the work of John Venelet, a famous Dutch | painter then living in London. Impressions of the Indians obtained in England are found in an account | written in Indian language by Sa Ga | Yean Qua Rash Tow, King of the | Moquas, and translated later into Eng- lish.
