Wa-o-wa-wa-na-onk

Wa-o-wa-wa-na-onk or Peter Wilson (died 1871, alternate spellings are Waowawanaonk, Wau-wah-wa-na-onk, and De jih'-non-da-weh-hoh)[1] was a Cayuga physician and possible chief.

[1] Some records list him as a chief, or a "Grand Sachem," but it was uncertain if he officially held the title.

[1][5] Wa-o-wa-wa-na-onk was a signatory on a fraudulent land treaty executed in 1838 and signed as a chief.

[6] In 1846, Wa-o-wa-wa-na-onk spoke to the New York Historical Society about regaining Iroquois land lost through fraud.

[5] He often spoke to different groups in New York in order to obtain allies in his cause to maintain the homeland of both the Seneca and Cayuga people.
