Sure, they put the longhouses, walls, gardens and granaries on their sledges and gave these sledges names: Gandesetuiagon, Ogdensburgh, St. Regis, Stadacona, Kaneantake, Tiononderoge, Canagohawe ...

On this weeks Screenshot-of-the-Week, they've used these names: Kente, Grand River, New Grand River, Allegheny, Tonawanda and Oil Springs.

Can anyone confirm/dismiss that these where REAL Iroquis cities's/sledges's ( ) names?

The names are genuine enough.

Kente: Cayuga village on the Bay of Quinte
Grand River and New Grand River: the valley in southern Ontario (west of Buaffalo) was first inhabited by the Attiwandaron (a neutral Iroquois tribe), later driven away by the Seneca who in turn abandoned the erea, after which it was claimed by the Missisaugas (related to the Iroquois)
Allegheny must be the Seneca community Allegany near Salamanca
Tonawanda another Seneca community near Jamestown
Oil Springs a now abandoned Seneca reservation near Cuba

Now, now my friend. Killing 3500 people is certainly murder (even if we justify it by saying it was a war action) but genocide means the killing of an entire people, an entire culture.
