Flying Head
The Flying Head, or Kanontsistóntie’s, is a spiritual being within the traditional belief systems of the Iroquois people.
:''"The Great God hath sent us signs in the sky we have heard uncommon noise in the heavens and have seen HEADS fall down upon the earth"'' Speech of Tahayadoris a Mohawk sachem at Albany October 25, 1689〔
==The Country==
According to folklore, the Flying Head drove the original native inhabitants who lived in the area of the state of New York near the source of the Hudson River, in the Adirondack Mountains away from their hunting grounds before the Europeans came. In the early nineteenth century a Mohawk guide in the town of Lake Pleasant, New York, who called himself Capt. Gill, claimed it was Lake Sacandaga where the legend took place. The tribe had their village on a hill that is now located behind the Hamilton County buildings. The name of the previous inhabitants has been lost to history, and the legend of The Flying Head ensured that every neighboring tribe steered clear for many years. The Flying Head legend survives, but the name of the tribe who invented it is gone.〔〔〔 The hill where the unknown tribe's village was located, is considered cursed. Three different hotels were built on the sacred site and all three had a short life span and burned to the ground mysteriously.〔Aber, Ted, and Stella King. Tales from an Adirondack County.

American Indian Myths and Legends. New York: Pantheon, 1984. Print.〕 Capt. Gill lived in a wigwam at the outlet of the lake, Lake Pleasant. He had a wife named Molly, and Molly had a daughter named Molly Jr., whom Capt. Gill didn't claim as his own.〔
