The Peacemaker's (Ronoshoniton - he who constructs a house) mission was first to go to Mohawk country, where he spent the night at the shore of the river near the settlement. The next morning he kindled a fire at the edge of the woods (where the forest meets the field) and was spotted and invited to the settlement. The chief of the settlement called the people together for a meeting to hear the message brought by the Peacemaker: the Three Great Words of Confederation.
At this meeting the chief, the war chief and his deputy assembled with the people to hear the Peacemaker's message. The Peacemaker revealed that the Good Message, Power and Peace would end the bloodshed amongst the warring nations. The chief, war chief and deputy ask the Peacemaker the meaning of the Kariwiio (Good Message), the Kashastensera (Power) and Skennen (Peace).
