The Mohawks, who were commonly referred to as Iroquois by the French, formed a League of Five Nations of the people of the Longhouse several generations prior to the arrival of Europeans on the North American continent. The Oneidas, "Standing Stone People", had their villages west of the Mohawks around Oneida Lake. The Onondagas, "Peoples" of the Hills", settled along Onondaga Creek; the Cayugas, "Great Pipe People", by Cayuga Lake; the Senecas, "People of the Great Mountain", alongside Canadaigua Lake... The Five nations refer to themselves as the "Hotinonsonni" which translated into English means "The People of the Longhouse". The French used the term "Iroquois Confederacy" while the British used the term "Six Nations Confederacy" when referring to the Hotinonsonni... The Hotinonsonni allied themselves into one League. They compared themselves to a long bark house, where there would be five fireplaces, but all would form one family. The Mohawks are the keepers of the eastern door of that Longhouse. The Onondagas, in the centre, are the firekeepers, and they are the capital of the League. The Senecas are keepers of the western door. 1, record 1, English, - Hotinonsonni

Plusieurs générations avant l'arrivée des Européens sur le continent nord-américain, les Mohawks, que les Français appelèrent subséquemment Iroquois, s'étaient regroupés en une ligue des Cinq-Nations du peuple de la maison longue. Les Oneidas, ou peuple de la Pierre debout, avaient implanté leurs villages à l'ouest de ceux de Mohawks, autour du lac Oneida. Les Onondagas, ou peuple des Collines, vivaient le long de la crique Onondaga; les Cayugas, ou peuple du Calumet, occupaient les rives du lac Cayuga tandis que les Sénécas, ou peuple de la grande Colline, résidaient près du lac Canadaigua. [...] En parlant d'elles-mêmes, les Cinq-Nations employaient Hotinonsonni, qui veut dire «peuple de la Maison longue». Les Français, eux, parlaient de la Confédération iroquoise alors que les Britanniques préféraient l'expression Confédération des Six-Nations [...] Les Hotinonsonnis s'allièrent pour former une Ligue. Ils se comparaient à une longue cabane d'écorce contenant cinq feux et où tous ne formeraient qu'une seule famille. Les Mohawks gardaient la porte orientale de la Maison longue, et les Onondagas, au centre, surveillaient le feu et formaient le siège de la capitale de la Ligue. Les Sénécas, quant à eux, veillaient sur la porte occidentale. 1, record 1, French, - Hotinonsonni

Wall rock alteration is usually confined to the footwall rocks. Chloritization and sericitization are the two commonest forms. The alteration zone is pipe-shaped and contains within it and towards the centre the chalcopyrite-bearing stockwork. The diameter of the alteration pipe increases upward until it is often coincident with that of the massive ore.... Of the many massive sulphide ores in sedimentary environments few are underlain by alteration pipes. 2, record 3, English, - alteration%20pipe
