ABORIGINAL PLACE NAMES OF NEW YORK * 265

 near the River Trent, was called Ganeraske in 1673. 



Hah-wen-da-ger-ha was a name the Mohawks applied to the 

 Hurons after their overthrow, because they sought refuge on islands. 

 This is derived from gahwendo, an island. 



Hoch-e-la'-ga, the name by which Cartier designated a town on 

 the island of Montreal. It is an Iroquois word, and Hough sug- 

 gested its derivation from Oserake, a beaver dam. Atsaroguan, the 

 noise of many who arc ialking, is quite as near as this, and might 

 refer to the voice of the people or the roar of the rapids, but both 

 words are conjectural. 



Iroquois or Richelieu river had the first name because the Mo- 

 hawks invaded Canada by this stream.

 it from missi, great, and sakiegun, lake.
