Indian League conference in San Antonio meets with feasting rites
The text describes Decroix and Morfi hosting an Indian league meeting in the old governor's palace in San Antonio. East Texas and Louisiana chiefs attend ceremonies of feather dances and a symbolic burying of armalches, as peace talks fail to yield lasting harmony. It notes the Tayava people once occupied Bexar county and names early San Antonio origins, with contrasts to neighboring tribes and local trade, including produce and livestock exchanges.
