La Salle on his intended journey to that river, he was informed that the 

 Toaguenha [Ontoagnnhe] who lived there were an evil people who 

 would attack them in the night, and that, furthermore, he would 

 also run the risk of being attacked by the Antastoez [Andaste] (Margry, 

 1876-86, pp. 137-138). 



Since the Iroquois already had defeated the Erie in 1655 and 1656, 

 it is unlikely that these statements refer to them. This seems to 

 be confirmed by the names given which refer to Algonquian groups, 

 the name Ontoagonnha apparently being a general term referring to 

 both the Honniasontkeronon and Chiouanon. The statement of 

 1668 makes it clear, however, that the Honniasontkeronon and 

 Chiouanon lived on the Ohio above the falls at Louisville. The old 

 Erie territory therefore must have been farther east. Relating this 

 to the archeological picture, it would seem that the Honniasontk- 

 eronon and Chiouanon (Shawnee) occupied the territory of the Fort 

 Ancient Aspect, while the Erie-Black Minqua-Massawomeck in- 

 habited the area of the Monongahela Aspect. This interpretation 

 of the early tribal distribution of the middle Appalachian region is 

 depicted in map 13.
