Wenrohronon Tribe
The Wenrohronon, also known as the “people of the place of floating scum,” likely inhabited the region near a significant oil spring in present-day New York. Historically associated with the Neutral Nation, their population dwindled due to conflict with the Iroquois and epidemics. In 1639, they sought refuge with the Hurons, though many perished during their migration. The tribe was characterized by its interactions with European traders and had formerly been sizable, numbering up to 2,000 individuals before facing decline.
