 An old Seneca slave was summoned to witness the execution of his countryman, and afterwards Kondiaronk ordered the man to travel to the Iroquois and report how badly the French had treated the captive.Since the captive was intended for adoption into the Michilimackinac village, the way his death was portrayed to the Iroquois angered them because they felt the French disrespected their tradition.Due to Kondiaronk's skillful manipulation of events, the peace negotiations between the French and Iroquois came to a halt— a satisfactory result for the Hurons.
