Notes
Handsome Lake had an unknown "wasting disease" and was a "miserable victim of the drink habit"[2] who had a vision of "four beings," after which he recovered.[3]
His Great Message, the result of his vision, "created a revolution in Iroquois religious life." He created a new "religious stem" [4]
