Declaration of Resigning Crown and Obedience Ceremony
The document recounts Sir Alexander Cuming leading a diverse group to declare obedience to King George II, presenting crowns and enemy scalps as symbols, and choosing six chiefs to accompany him to England. It traces their movements from Nequaffee to Noouli kah and Ookunny, where gifts, secrets, and herbs were exchanged, and where local leaders paid homage on their knees.
