They were formerly numerous, but had become reduced to 80 or 40 fam- iUes owing to persistent Blaekfeet raids.— Hayden, Ethnog. and Philol. Mo. Yal., 237,1862. Kiasutha (alias Guyasuta, 'it sets up a cross.'—Hewitt). A chief of some promi- nence as an orator in the Ohio region about 1760-1790. Although called a Sen- eca, he probably belonged to the mixed band of detached Iroquois in Ohio com- monly known as Mingo, who sided with the French while their kinsmen of the New York confederacy acted as allies of the English. As a young warrior he ac- companied Washington and Gist on their visit to the French forts on the Allegheny in 1753. After Braddock's defeat in 1755 he visited Montreal in company with a French interpreter and in 1759 was pres- ent at Croghan's conference with the In- dians at Ft Pitt (now Pittsburg). He is mentioned also at the Lancaster confer- ence in 1762, and in 1768 was a leading advocate of peace with the English both at the treaty of Ft Pitt in May and at Bouquet's conference there six months later. Washington visited him while on a hunting tour in Ohio in 1770. He is noted as at other conferences up to the time of the Revolution, and in 1782 is mentioned as leading an Indian raid on one of the frontier settlements. His name occurs last in 1790, when he sent a written message to some friends in Philadelphia. See Darlington, Christopher Gist's Jour- nal, 1893. Kiatagmiut.
