The council fire was kindled in the wigwam of Black Hawk Tribe, No. 2, Covington, on the 13th of Buck Moon, G. S. 5617.

Representatives were admitted from Tribes Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7.

The long talks of the Great Chiefs were not copied in the proceedings, therefore no excerpts can be made from them.

A committee of three was appointed to draft a constitution for the government of Tribes under the jurisdiction of this Great Council. Previous to this time each Tribe had prepared its own constitution as well as by-laws, subject, however, to approval by the Great Council.

Chiefs for the ensuing Grand Sun were elected and raised up as follows:

John Hughes	M. W. Great Sachem
Gregory B. Kiteley	M. W. Great Senior Sagamore
John B. Davies	M. W. Great Junior Sagamore
W. D. Turner	M. W. Great Prophet
Peter Ruhl	M. W. Great Chief of Records
A. J. Francis	M. W. Great Keeper of Wampum
A. J. Francis	Representative to G. C. U. S.

After transacting the usual routine business, the council fire was quenched, to be rekindled in the wigwam of Kentucky Tribe, No. 4, hunting grounds of Louisville, on the 11th of Cold Moon, G. S. 5618.

The Great Council reconvened, pursuant to adjournment, with all Great Chiefs present.

Representatives were admitted from Tribes Nos. 2, 4, 6 and 7.

No business was transacted other than the payment of current bills and acting upon a new code of by-laws for the Great Council, and the council fire was quenched in due form.
