in the past few days, we have had the council fire burning and the smoke has risen, and all of you have seen the smoke and have come to the edge of the forest of our community. you have been waiting for us to come and invite you into our community. yesterday, we sent scouts among you and found that you were coming in peace. last night we asked the creator and our grandfathers the thunderers to bring some rain down so that you may cleanse and wash your hair and be in a good mood for today's meeting. the women led the guests from the forest so that you would not lose your way. now you are here and we will leave all our baggages, all our personal issues, all of the many things that we carry around with us, and leave them at the door and come in.... now cleanse your eyes with the soft cloth, so that you will see things clearly and nothing will obstruct your vision. and clean your ears so you may hear the words that will be spoken. and finally, we went to our forest and brought the purest water so that you will drink and cleanse your throat so that you will speak only good words, and words of love .... - traditional mohawk greeting
