The Senecas call themselves NUN-DO-WAW-GAW, or people of the
hill. The term Seneca is taken from the lake, on the banks of which
they formerly lived, and had their castle. It is _not_ a name of Indian
origin. They are called NUN-DO-WAW-GAW, from the eminence
called Fort-Hill, near Canandaguia lake. [Ho-ho-ee-yuh, or J. A.
