The Aquanushioni or "United People" (later referred to as the Iroquois by the French), also know as the Six Nations, held a lodge in Punxsutawney. Tribes of the confederacy were the Mohawks (the fire-striking people), the Oneidas (the pipe makers), the Onondages (the hilltop people), the Cayugas (the people from the lake), the Tuscaroras (unwilling to be with other people), and the Senecas, who were the most prominent tribe in western Pennsylvania and Jefferson County. The Senecas (the great hilltop people or mountaineers) called themselves "Nun-go-wah-gah."
