Akhrakouaeronon facts for kids

The Akhrakouaeronon (also known as Atrakouaehronon) were a smaller group of people who belonged to the larger Susquehannock tribe. They lived a long time ago in what is now Northumberland County, Pennsylvania.

Who Were the Akhrakouaeronon?

The Akhrakouaeronon were a "subtribe," meaning they were a smaller part of a bigger Native American group called the Susquehannock. They lived in an area that is now known as Northumberland County in Pennsylvania. Their main town was called Atrakwaye.

A famous explorer named John Smith made a map of the Susquehannock lands. On his map, he called the Akhrakouaeronon's town "Quadroque." This helps us understand where they lived and how they were connected to other tribes in the past.
