I’m taking the time to learn more about where I live outside of the local flours and fauna. I’m starting with
🦝The Eries . 🦝.
Their were a lot of Confederacies in the Northeast US
Chautauqua County, was once home to a people called the Erie who were nearly wiped out by the Haudenosaunee in the Beaver war. (Kind of had to drag myself out of a rabbit hole writing this)
They’re the people that Lake Erie, Erie County, and Erie, Pennsylvania are named after.
🐱The Erie were also called the Eriez, Nation du Chat, (Nation of the Cat) Yenresh, Eriechronen, and Riquérohon among other names. A lot of their various names reference long tail or cat. Possibly a reference to the now officially extinct eastern puma, a mythological entity, or raccoons. 🐈‍⬛🦝
They were Iroquoian* like most of the people living in the Northeast US. The Erie appear to have lived in a similar way to their neighbors. They lived in long houses arranged in palisaded villages because like everyone else they often got into skirmishes with neighbors. They farmed using the 3 sisters method🌽🫛🎃 The Erie are said to have used poison arrows and some wore puma or raccoon tails, hence their French name. They traded with the Sesquehannok and others. The Haudenosaunee say they came from the St. Laurence river valley and took over from a mound building society.
This information was gleaned from second hand accounts told by other indigenous peoples, especially the Huron, to Jesuit priests and trappers. Despite not really interacting with Europeans as far as we know, The Eries demise was indirectly caused by them. This was through a combination of European disease (entire communities were wiped out)and the and the demand for beaver pelts which lead to the Beaver Wars.
🦫The disagreements escalated when the Erie overhunted the beavers they used to trade for European goods. They would give the pelts to other tribes who would pay them with European stuff, except guns, no one wanted them to have guns. Because of this they encroached on other peoples territory more than usual. During this time The Haudenosaunee League were also fighting with the Huron ( and pretty much everyone else) to gain a monopoly on beaver. (The Beaver war)The Huron were loosing, badly. The Erie took in some of the Huron refugees and refused to turn them over to the Haudenosaunee,specifically the Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga. The Haudenosaunee were made up of 5 other tribes at the time, now it’s 6 and they’re a confederacy now. Erie also killed a Seneca sachem, Annencraos, during a raid into Seneca territory.
The Erie weren’t immediately attacked though. The Haudenosaunee and Erie had a peace conference to avoid a war. For some reason, possibly after losing multiple sporting events, the Erie leader started killing the delegates. They then went on to launch an assault on the Seneca. This is despite their biggest allies, the Sesquehannok, being unable to help them because they were actively being attacked by the Mohawk Oneida branch of the Haudenosaunee. This isolated the Erie. The Haudenosaunee also had guns and knew how to use them.
This started a war between the Haudenosaunee League and the Erie. The Erie held their own for the first year but In the end they were defeated, dispersed and absorbed. Some Eries went to Ohio and joined the Seneca and Cayuga there,( they ended up in Oklahoma) others may have went to Virginia and became the Rochahecrian, and South Carolina where they became the Westro.

Eries
*Iroquoian refers to the ethnolingustic group the Eries, Huron Wyandot , Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Petun,Sesquehannok, and Cherokee among others belong to.
Probably going to write about the beavers wars and the Seneca later. May also post about the ill fated peace conference/sporting event too.
If anyone has anything to contribute feel free, I’d like to learn more.

Characters favorite seasons and why
Oh this is fun
Eries: summer girly, just likes the warm and the sun, it’s in her nature
Kas: loves spring, specifically right when everything starts blooming, but he’d never admit that out loud to anyone
Glory: doesn’t really care that much, but Bluebell likes winter for obvious reasons and they like seeing her happy so probably winter
Cypress: you’d think it would be winter, but it’s not. He likes the mid-late part of summer that has a lot of thunderstorms. He used to be afraid of thunder, but Equinox would comfort him during storms, so he got Pavlov’d into loving thunderstorms because they remind him of Equinox
Darcy: mid-late summer as well, but because that’s dahlia season and she needs to tend her garden
Lilac: Fall. Loves when the trees turn and adores Halloween season
