Honniasont
The Honniasont (Oniasont, Oniassontke, Honniasontkeronon) were a little-known indigenous people of North America originally from eastern Ohio, western Pennsylvania and West Virginia.[1] They appear to have inhabited the upper Ohio River valley, above Louisville, Kentucky (Hanna 1911:119 [2]).
Language
Honniasont may have been considered an Iroquoian language (Swanton 1953: 55-57[3]). However, Charles Hanna believed their name, first appearing as Oniasont on 17th-century French maps, to be a variation of the name of the tribe recorded in West Virginia and western Virginia at the same time period, as Nahyssan and Monahassanough, i.e. the Tutelo, a Siouan language speaking people.[4]
