We are aware of the cultural and physical differences between us. We do not see in the Frenchman any of the perfections of our people and at times don't see the virtues of a generous people. We are taller, superior in physical stature, in strength, agility, and speed. You cannot survive in the forest. Our sense of direction, ability to hear and our sense of sight and memory are obviously better than yours. If you don’t believe me, then read the yearly reports of your own priests in what you call The Jesuit Relations.

We have little facial hair. The French are excessively hairy and we particularly do not like curly hair. In particular we do not like this hair on the face. It makes them ugly and weakens their intelligence. Those with hairy faces we call Sascoinronte, that is to say, bearded ones, a mark of scorn among my people.
(Wars of the Iroquois, p. 24)
