More about the The Gayogo̱hó:nǫˀ (Cayuga) Nation's traditional homeland is located in the Finger Lakes region of New York State, and along the northern shore of the St. Lawrence River. The Cayuga people's villages were primarily located on Cayuga Lake and its northern shores. The Gayogo̱hó:nǫˀ are members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign nations. The Cayuga people's name, Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫˀ or Cayuga, translates to "People from the Swampy Land" or "People from the Great Swamp". The Cayuga people have lived in the Finger Lakes region for over ten thousand years. Before European settlement, they used the land lightly, cultivating patches for produce and orchards, and placing semi-permanent settlements near fresh water sources.
