Kanadaseaga

Kanadaseaga (aka Kanadesaga or Kanatasaka or Kanadasaga or Canasadego or Ganûndase?'ge?

or Seneca Castle or Canadasaga), was a major village, perhaps a capital, of the Seneca nation of the Iroquois Confederacy in west-central New York State, United States.

[5] A blockhouse was built here in 1756 by Sir William Johnson,[6] the remains of which were in existence in 1779.

[2] During the Revolutionary War, the British added defensive fortifications against the Americans.

American forces were seeking to punish the Iroquois for their raids and attacks on frontier settlements, especially in the Mohawk, Cherry and Schoharie valleys.
