Here are the evidences of two great and good men most artlessly uniting in the leading facts stated by Mr. Adair. The char acter of Mr. Boudinot (who was for some time President of the American Bible Society,) is well known. He was satisfied with the truth of Mr. Adair’s history , and that the natives of our land are Hebrews, the ten tribes. And he hence published his “Star in the West” on this subject’ whi ch is most worthy of the perusal of all men. [p.85] From various authors and travellers [sic] among the Indians, the fact that the American Indians are the ten tribes of Israel, wil l be attempted to be proved by the following ar guments: 1. The American natives have one origin. 2. Their l anguage appears to have been Hebr ew. 3. They have th eir imit ation of the ark of the covenant in anci ent Israel. 4. They have been in practice of circumcision. 5. They have acknowledged one and only one God. 6. The celebrated Will iam Penn gi ves account of the natives of Pennsy lvania, which go to corroborate the same point. 7. The Indians having one tribe, answering in variou s respects to the tribe of Levi, sheds farther light on this subject. 8. Several prophetic tr aits of charact er given to the Hebr ews, do accurately apply to the aborigin es of America. 9. The Indians being in tribes, with their heads and names of tribes, afford further light. 10. Their having something answering to the ancient citi es of refuge, seems to evince their Israelitish extraction. 11. Their variety of traditions, historical and religious, do wonderfully accord with the idea, that they descended from the ancient ten tribes.

Ahayah is being Good to us to be able to find these amazing books and unseal alot of them .
p.92] Dr. Boudinot informs that a gentleman, then living in the city of New-York, who had long been much conversant with the Indians, assured him, that being once with the Indians at the place called Cohocks, they shewed him a very high mountain at the west, the Indian name of which, they informed him, was Ararat. And the Penobscot Indians, the Dr. informs, cal l a hi gh mount ain by the same name. [p.92] Doctor Boudinot assures us that he himself attended an Indian religious dance. He say s; “They danced one round; and then a second, singing hal-hal-hal, till they finished the round. They then gave us a third round, striking up the words, l e-le-le. On the next round, it was the words, lu-lu-lu, dancing with all their might. During the fifth round w as sung, y ah-yah-yah.-- Then all joined in a lively and joy ful chorus, and sung hallelu yah ; dwelling on each syllable with a very long breath, in a most pleasing manner.” The Doctor adds; “There could be no deception in all this. The writer was near them--paid great atten tion--and ever y thing was obvious to the senses. Their pronunciation was very guttur al and son orous; but distinct and clear.” How could it be possible that the wild native Americans, in different parts of the continent, should be found singing this phrase of praise to the Great First Cause, or to Jah,--exclusively Hebrew , without having brought it down by tradition from ancient Israel? The positive testimonies of such men as Boudinot and Adair, are not to be dispensed with, nor doubted. They testify what they have seen and hear d. And I can conceive of no rational way to account for this Indian song, but tha t they brought it down from ancient Israel, their ancestors. [p.92 - p.93] Mr. Faber remark s; “They (the Indians) call the lightning and thunder, Eloha; and its rumbling, Rowah, whi ch may not impr operly be deduced from the Hebrew word Ruach, a name of the third person of the Holy Trinity, originally signifying, the air in motion , or a ru shing wind.” Who can doubt but their name of thunder, Eloha, is derived from a Hebrew name of God, Elohim? Souard, (quoted in Boudinot,) in his Literary Miscellanies, says of the Indians in Surinam, on the authority of Isaac Nasci, a learned Jew residing there, that the dialect of those Indians, common to all the tribes of Guian a, is soft, agr eeable, and regul ar. And this learned Jew asserts that their substantives are Hebrew . The word expressive of the soul (he says) is the same in each langu age, and is the same with breath . “God breathed into man the breath of life, and man became a living soul.” This testimony from Nasci, a learned Jew, dwelling with the Indi ans must be of signal w eight.
