History

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]

Language

Scahentoarrhonon was an Iroquoian language, likely related to Susquehannock, Wendat, Erie and Wenrohronon.
