In 1769, Oiá:ner showed Kanatahséton's Crystal Ball to Ratonhnhaké:ton upon his return from a hunt and allowed him to interact with it. The Crystal Ball forced him into the Nexus, where he communicated with Juno and learned of his destiny with the Assassins. Over the course of the next years, Ratonhnhaké:ton would return occasionally and speak to the Clan Mother about various subjects, such as his own journey, the death of William Johnson and the village's role in the American Revolutionary War.
