Shikellamy

Shikellamy (died 1748), also called Swatana, was an Oneida chief and overseer for the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, supervising the Shawnee and Lenape along Pennsylvania's Susquehanna River and protecting the confederacy's southern border. In 1742 he settled at Shamokin at the river's forks.

For two decades he was the chief go-between linking the Pennsylvania government with the confederacy council at Onondaga, guiding colonial envoys through Iroquois country and helping keep the frontier at peace. He died at Shamokin in December 1748.
