The Tehotitachsae were an indigenous people of North America originally from Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Their principal village, Gohontoto, was on the site of the present Borough of Wyalusing.
Moravian Bishop John F. Cammerhoff wrote of a visit in 1750, "Here, they tell me, was in early times an Indian town, traces of which are still noticeable, e. g. corn-pits, etc., inhabited by a distinct nation (neither Aquinoschioni, i. e. Iriquois, nor Delawares), who spoke a peculiar language and were called Tehotitachsae; against these the Five Nations warred, and rooted them out. The Cayugas for a time held a number of them, but the Nation and their language are now exterminated and extinct."
Remnants of the Tehotitachsae most likely were assimilated into the Cayuga. Their former territories in Pennsylvania later settled by the Lenape, who in 1752 established a settlement called M'chwihillusink on the site of Gohontoto. This would later become Wyalusing.

The Seneca are a group of Indigenous Iroquoian-speaking people who historically lived south of Lake Ontario, one of the five Great Lakes in North America. Their nation was the farthest to the west within the Six Nations or Iroquois League (Haudenosaunee) in New York before the American Revolution. For this reason, they are called “The Keepers of the Western Door.”
The Cayuga are one of the five original constituents of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), a confederacy of Native Americans in New York.
