Onatah

"If you follow [the Sky Woman's] path, you shall learn the true history of our people... and perhaps even uncover the reward locked within this cave..."

―Onatah to Shay Cormac, 1757.

Onatah speaking with Shay

Onatah was the clan mother of the Oneida village of Orenda during the mid-18th century.

Biography

In 1757, the Colonial Assassin Kesegowaase sent his men to attack the village due to its inhabitants' support of the British during the Seven Years' War. With Onatah held hostage, the Oneida would not take the risk of further assisting the British. At the same time, Kesegowaase's men interrogated the villagers about an ancient set of armor stored in Orenda.

To the village's fortune, the Colonial Templar Shay Cormac eliminated Kesegowaase's men and freed the hostages, wishing to gather allies in anticipation of the Assassin's attack on Albany. Following this, Onatah thanked Shay and told him that he had the gratitude of the Oneida.

The clan mother also informed him about the Oneida legend of the Sky Woman, who spread her wisdom around the world. She showed Shay the cave housing the native armor and told him that he could acquire it if he followed the Sky Woman's path, believing the Templar to be a hero. The two then bid each other farewell.
