The Scahentoarrhonon or Scahentowanenrhonon were a little-known indigenous people of North America originally from the Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania,[1] which they called Scahentowanen ('It is a very great plain').
History
[edit]Little is known of the Scahentoarrhonon. They were recorded in the Jesuit Relation for 1635.[2] They appear to have been destroyed as a tribe by the Iroquois in 1652 during the Beaver Wars. Survivors may have been assimilated by one or more of the Five Nations.[3]
