Excerpt from History and Government of New York Here they found a permanent home and were gradually organized into five distinct tribes or nations known as the Mohawks, the Oneidas, the Onondagas, the Cayugas, and the Senecas. The Mohawks, driven from their territory in the vicinity of Montreal and Quebec, came into the valley of the river which bears their name. The Senecas, moving gradually from the highlands of southwestern New York, occupied the fertile plains of the Genesee. Even before this time it is probable that the Oneidas, the Onondagas, and the Cayugas had established themselves in the hill country surrounding the "finger" lakes of central New York. The names given to these tribes are in part the English equivalents of Indian words, and the localities in which they lived are still indicated by the rivers and lakes which bear their names.
