Tyonajanegen ("Two Kettles Together")[2] was an Oneida woman who fought in the August 6, 1777 Battle of Oriskany during the American Revolutionary War.
General Horatio Gates ordered Colonel Peter Gansevoort to "deliver to her Three Gallons of Rum, for a Winter's supply for her Family" as a reward for her services.
[8] In the 1750s, Tyonajanegen married Han Yerry Tewahangarahken ("He Who Takes Up the Snow Shoe"), a chief warrior of the Wolf Clan.
They grew a variety of crops and raised livestock and other animals including 15 horses, 100 chickens, 60 hogs, six turkeys, six cattle and two sheep.
[9] After the Battle of Oriskany, a pro-British Iroquois war party attacked Oriska, destroying the village and the family's house and belongings.
