The Onojutta-Haga or Juniata (Iottecas) people were natives of areas adjacent to the Juniata River and its tributaries in the southern part of what is now Pennsylvania.[1]

History

The Onojutta-Haga, like many peoples of the interior of Pennsylvania, are very poorly known. By 1648 they were forced auxiliaries of the more powerful Susquehannock, and may have ultimately been at least partially assimilated. When the Susquehannock were subjugated and dispersed from the Susquehanna Valley, the Onojutta-Haga were likely included in their number.

Language

The Onojutta-Haga or Juniata were an Iroquoian speaking group.[2][3]
