Four words tell a great story of wrong, and the Creator is sad because of the trouble they bring, so go and tell your people.
The first word is One'ga [alcohol]. It seems that you never have known that this word stands for a great and monstrous evil and has reared a high mound of bones. [Other circumscribed practices included abortion and witchcraft].... Three things that our younger brethren [the Americans] do are right to follow.
Now, the first. The white man works on a tract of cultivated ground and harvests food for his family....
Now, the second thing. It is the way a white man builds a house....
Now the third. The white man keeps horses and cattle...there is no evil in this for they are a help to his family.
