　　At the treaty of Lancaster in Pennsylvania, 1744, between the government of Virginia and the Six Nations, the officials from Virginia acquainted the Indians (Native Americans) by a speech, that there was at Williamsburg a College with a fund of education Indian youth; and if the Chief of the Six Nations would send down half a dozen of their sons to that college, the government would take care that they be well provided for, and instructed in all the learning of the White People.

　　The Indian’ spokesman replied:

　　“We know that you think highly of the kind of learning taught in those colleges, and that to educate our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced, therefore, that you mean to do us good by your proposal and we thank you heartily.

　　“But you, who are wise, must know that different nations have different conceptions of things; and you will not therefore take it amiss (搞错), if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same with yours. We have had some experience of it; several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the Northern Provinces; they were instructed in all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods, unable to bear either cold or hunger, knew neither how to build a cabin, take a deer, nor kill an enemy, spoke our language imperfectly, were therefore neither fit for hunters, warriors nor counselors; they were totally good for nothing.”
