The Scahentoarrhonon or Scahentowanenrhonon were a little-known indigenous people of North America originally from the Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania, which they called Scahentowanen ('It is a very great plain').

History [edit]

Little is known of the Scahentoarrhonon. They are first encountered in the Jesuit Relation for 1635. They appear to have been destroyed as an entity by the Iroquois in 1652; survivors may have been assimilated by one or more of the Five Nations.

Language [edit]

Scahentoarrhonon was an Iroquoian language and may have been related to Susquehannock, Wyandot, Erie and Wenrohronon.
