In his essay some esoteric aspects of the League of the Iroquois. Mr. Hewitt lists the rules of good government formulated by the founders of the Confederation. These are the three great double doctrines or principles, each of which is stated in two parts. The doctrines were and are expressed by three notable Onondaga dialectic terms, namely one Ness Cano, meaning first health of mind and body and second peace among men and women as individuals and among organized bodies or groups of persons. To the guy a wheel, meaning first righteousness of conduct, its advocacy and thought and speech and second, equity or justice in the adjustment of rights and obligations. And three Nagas has to saw meaning first, physical strength or power as military power or civil authority. And second, The Orenda or magic power of the people or of their institutions, six principles in all the constructive results of the control and guidance of human conduct in the private, the public and the foreign relations of the peoples so confederated by the six principles mentioned above, are the establishment and the conservation of what is reverently called the great Commonwealth. The great law of equity and righteousness and well being of man. It is thus seen that the mental outlook and grasp of these prophets, statesmen and states women of the Iroquois, looked beyond the constrained limits of tribal boundaries to a vast statehood of all the tribes of men dwelling in harmony and happiness.
