| The term "Island Honeoye" commonly refers to the approximately 425,000 people of the Third Republic who are descendants of the maritime [[Nysdra_Provisional_Republic#Honeoye|Honeoye]] people. The common Ænglish term "Island" is something of a misnomer as in the original language the term merely implied overseas. Settlement of the Third Republic area by these people began at some point in the 14th century as northern outposts for the fishing and maritime industries famous in Honeoye. Incorporated as part of the [[Northern Confederation]], the Island Honeoye were originally subject to the Little Chenango peoples but became a freestanding member of the Confederation in 1834. The Island Honeoye established favorable relationship with the southern Honeoye and often supported the latter during the growth of Honeoye power within the Confederation which occurred throughout the 20th century.

| Many of the people who use this name are not strictly of Honeoye ethnic or ancestral origin, but became galley slaves to the Honeoye and settled along with their masters once freed from service. These individuals with ethnic backgrounds from across the [[Nysdra]] adopted the lifestyle and traditions of the northern Honeoye. For this reason, a vast majority of the Island Honeoye view their richer southern brethren as a distant relation and a majority have historically opposed political union.
