{{defn | | {{defn |1=The Canandaigua are a constituent people of [[New Yustona]] and number about 450,000 people. They are closely related to the Gowandis people, and are unique among peoples of [[Cusinaut]] in not having what is considered to be a "senior branch"; oral tradition and archaeology speak of what is known as a "great split", cleaving a single people into two similarly sized groups rather than having an offshoot of one people from another as is common in [[Cusinaut]]. This split is thought to have occurred in the 1400s or as late as the 1560s and is traditionally ascribed to a difference in [[M%27acunism#Ancestral_worship|Kānenaka]]. Unlike other Kānenaka-related splits, traditions say that the two figures each side recognize were brothers and great heroes who fought the Algosh. Despite shared heritage and cultural mores, the split have created a historical rivalry between the two groups which has seen major conflict erupt between them, even during the period of the relative peace of the Northern Confederation. These borders between these two peoples has shifted consistently shifted as both sides have vied for good agricultural lands and hunting territory. The Canandaigua lands sit on the coast north of the Honeoye, but unlike their southern neighbors they do not have a strong maritime tradition and their territory is relatively undeveloped}} | ||
