The Chenango peninsula has had a documented human presence dating back thousands of years, with the first urban settlements emerging around 300-200 BC. The three peoples of the Chenango Confederacy share the same origin myth, which relates a story by which the peoples now living in the Confederacy migrated far from the south fleeing a variety of natural disasters which were a sign of displeasure and judgment upon that area by [[M%27acunism#Earth_as_lifegiver|Makuahine]]. Historians and scholars posit a number of theories regarding these origin myths, with the two predominant theories being either a factual remembered migration from central [[Crona]] to Cusinaut prior to the [[Nysdran Collapse]] or a primarily mythical explanation of the story influenced by other origin stories common throughout the Nysdra. Geneticists have proven a DNA link between the peoples of the Chenango peninsula and central Crona, with shared genes with [[Varshan]]i people, though some have attributed this to medieval and later interactions between Cusinaut and central Crona. Whatever the case, the three peoples now occupying the Confederacy almost certainly diverged from a common ancestral people that settled the peninsula in the first milennium BC. | |||
