To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is the first scene of the ballet. The second consists in ;i combat, to the sound of a kind i f drum, which succeeds the songs, or rather joins them. Harmonizing quite well. The dancer beckons to some brave to come and take the arms on the mat. And challenges him to fight to the sound of the drums; the other approaches, takes his bow and arrow, and begins a duel againsl thi dancer who lias no defence but the calumet. This spectacle is very pleasing, especially as it is always done in time, ...for one attacks, the other defends-, one strikes, the other parries; one flies, the other pursues; then he who fled l'aees and puts his enemy to flight. This is all done so well with measured steps, and the regular sound of voices and drums, that it might pass for a very pretty opening of a ballet in France. The third scene consists of a speech delivered by the holder of the calumet, for the combat being ended without bloodshed, he relates the battles he was in, the victories he has gained ; he names the nations, the places, the captives he has taken, and as a reward, he who presides at the dance presents him with a beautiful beaver robe, or something else, which he receives, and then he presents the calumet to another, who hands it to a third, and so to all the rest, till all having done their duty, the presiding chief pre- sents the calumet itself to the nation invited to this cere- mony in token of the eternal peace which shall reign be- tween the two tribes.
