Canajoharie
Canajoharie, also known as the "Upper Castle", was the name of one of two major towns of the Mohawk nation in the eighteenth century. The community stretched for a mile and a half along the southern bank of the Mohawk River, from a village known as ''Dekanohage'' eastward to what is now Fort Plain, New York.〔Dean R. Snow and David B. Guldenzopf, ("Indian Castle Church" ). Accessed August 23, 2009.〕
The Upper Castle historic district has been designated as a National Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It contains the Indian Castle Church, built in 1769 for the Mohawk by Sir William Johnson, the British Superintendent of Indian Affairs, on land donated by his consort Molly Brant and her brother Joseph Brant, both leaders among the Mohawk. The site also has archeological resources related to Iroquois history. For a time the town was the home of the notable Mohawk leaders Hendrick Theyanoguin (1692–1755) and the Brants. According to Joseph Brant, ''Canajoharie'' means "a kettle stuck on a pole."〔Isabel Thompson Kelsay, ''Joseph Brant, 1743-1807, Man of Two Worlds'' (Syracuse, New York: Syracuse University Press, 1984), 46.〕 A modern etymology translates it as "a washed kettle".〔 It referred to actions of water from the Mohawk River in a portion of the Canajoharie Gorge.
The modern village of Canajoharie, New York was settled by European Americans a few miles to the east of the historic Mohawk village.〔Dean R. Snow ("Searching for Hendrick: Correction of a Historic Conflation" ). ''New York History'', History Cooperative, Summer 2007. Accessed August 23, 2009.〕
