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
Little is known of the Scahentoarrhonon. They were recorded in the Jesuit
Relation for 1635.
["I am rejoiced to find that this language is common to some twelve other Nations, all settled and numerous; these are, the Conkhandeenrhonons, khionontaterrhonons, Atiouandaronks, Sonontoerrhonons, Onontaerrhonons, Oüioenrhonons, Onoiochrhonons, Agnierrhonons, Andastoerrhonons, Scahentoarrhonons, Rhiierrhonons, and Ahouenrochrhonons."] They appear to have been destroyed as a tribe by the
Iroquois in 1652 during the
Beaver Wars. Survivors may have been assimilated by one or more of the
Iroquois.
