When a Lordship title is to be conferred, the candidate San Francisco/Oakland Map Lord shall furnish the cooked venison, the corn bread and the corn soup, together with other San Francisco/Oakland Map necessary things and the labor for the Conferring of Titles Festival. 30.

If a Lord of the Confederacy should become seriously ill and be thought near death, the women who are heirs of his title shall go to his house and lift his crown of deer antlers, the emblem of his Lordship, and place them at one side. If the Creator spares him and he rises from his bed of sickness he may rise with the antlers on his brow. The following words shall be used to temporarily remove the antlers: “Now our comrade Lord (or our relative Lord) the time has come when we must approach you in your illness. We remove for a time the deer’s antlers from your brow, we remove the emblem of your Lordship title. The Great Law has decreed that no Lord should end his life with the antlers on his brow. We therefore lay them aside in the room.
If the Creator spares you and you recover from your illness you shall rise from your bed with the antlers on your brow as before and you shall resume your duties as Lord of the Confederacy and you may labor again for the Confederate people.” 32. If a Lord of the Confederacy should die while the Council of the Five Nations is in session the Council shall adjourn for ten days.
