The Chief speaks to his "Great Father" with a great deal of respect. He reminds his Great Father to take care of his children, who have been "reduced to great poverty." He contrasts the Oral Traditions with the British tradition of recording history, and he reveals his knowledge that his peoples were originally allied with the French, that the British drove the French out, and that the British and his peoples entered into a "Treaty of Friendship." He adds that "we hope our hands will remain interlinked" and that "The first promise you made us when we took you by the hand, was that so long as we should remain on this Earth, you would always take care of us." The speaker emphasizes his people's history of disappointed anticipation at being able to meet their Great Father. The purpose of the speech is to procure an audience with him.; The second order of business is the voicing of a concern over Chief Wawaynosh, who is an officer to the king about whom the speaker voices many abuses of his office and in his treatment of his own people. The speaker fears Waywanosh seeks to damage the relationship, through his petitions, between the speaker's people and their Great Father. It is alleged that Waywanosh says he will only distribute British goods to those who sign his petitions. This would therefore seem to be an instance of the speaker bringing a violation of the 24 Nations Belt to British attention. The speech is signed by ten chiefs and accompanying each signature is a doodem.
