During the existence of the [[Northern Confederation]] and its successor, [[Algoquona]], a large portion of the Acuera people worked for both states as pathfinders and skirmishers, and this is reflected in their marginalization as a people outside of those few living in the [[Algosh Republic]].}} | ||

{{defn |1=The term "Island Honeoye" commonly refers to the approximately 425,000 people of the Third Republic of the [[Chenango Confederacy]] who are descendants of the maritime 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. | {{defn |1=The term "Island Honeoye" commonly refers to the approximately 425,000 people of the Third Republic of the [[Chenango Confederacy]] who are descendants of the maritime Honeoye people.

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.}} | 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.

Their homeland is the nation-state of [[Constituent_states_of_New_Harren#Mixcala|Mixcala]]. Living at the southeastern periphery of indigenous people in Cusinaut, the Mixcala have a number of unique cultural traditions, some of whom are thought to have been introduced from across the Nysdra in the lands of [[Quetzenkel]] and [[Vallos]]. With both extensive land and sea holdings, the Mixcalans traditionally had strong maritime and agricultural traditions. The Mixcalans historically were a largely urbanized people relative to some of their neighbors.}} | ||

{{defn |1=The Schoharie are a {{wp|stateless people}} who originated in the southernmost region of what would become [[New Harren]]. They were a founding member of the [[Northern Confederation]] and like many of their neighbors had developed an urban-based lifestyle. The Schoharie ceded a portion of their land to [[Urcea]] in the late 1800s which precipitated a large wave of out-migration. Decades later, the entire Schoharie territory was eventually conquered by the Urceans during the [[Patrick III of Urcea|Restoration]]. Since their conquest, the Schoharie people have become stateless. About a half of Schoharie people remained in the territory and integrated within [[Urcea|Urcean]] society, becoming the first of the [[Nysdrine people]]. A small minority of the Schoharie people moved north into Confederation territory and integrated with the Mixcalans and Tepetlcali, but some small familial groups still retain a Schoharie identity and live apart in isolated villages. The remaining group - a large minority - of Schoharie migrated into [[Porfiria]] and became mostly integrated into Coscivian society.}} | {{defn |1=The Schoharie are a {{wp|stateless people}} who originated in the southernmost region of what would become [[New Harren]].

They number about 350,000 people, a majority of whom still live in their original homeland which has since been settled by the Mixcala people. A founding member of the [[Northern Confederation]], the people and city of Tepetlcali exerted political hegemony over many of the tribes and cities of the southern part of the Confederation from the 1800s through the early 21st century. The city of Tepetlcali was destroyed by a joint [[Urcea|Urceo]]-Mixcalan operation during the [[War of the Northern Confederation]]. The remaining third to half of these people live across the border from New Harren in [[Netansett]], where most live as transient refugees. Their cultural origin is unknown, in part due to the immense destruction of records during the war, but oral traditions suggest they originated as one of the many isolated tribes of the southern Cusinaut area. Their closest ethnic relation appears to be the people of eastern [[Sabnaki]] based on genetic testing, though they share the same language as the Mixcalan people. In [[2032]], Tepetlcalis abroad were allowed to return to their traditional homeland as the Mixcalan condominium over the territory officially ended; prior to this, they were considered a stateless people.}} | ||
