People of the Great Swamp
The Cayuga Nation is part of the Haudenosaunee, also known as the Iroquois Confederacy, a powerful alliance of Native American tribes in New York. This confederacy includes the Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga Nation, Oneida, Mohawk, and Tuscarora.
For centuries, the Cayuga Nation has called the land around Cayuga Lake home. Our territory lies between the Seneca Nation Reservation to the west and the Onondaga Nation Reservation to the east. Archaeological discoveries have revealed evidence of Cayuga Tribe settlements in many areas surrounding the lake, including present-day Union Springs, Aurora, Cayuga, Seneca Falls, Ithaca, and Canoga.
