Teganakoa, Stephen
Indian convert; went with his family to the mission of Sault St. Louis, where they were baptized.
In the fall of 1790, while on a hunting expedition with his wife and another Indian, he was taken prisoner by a band of Cayugas and carried to Onondaga, N. Y. One of the party said to him that he owed his death to having left his countrymen for the dogs of Christians at the Sault.
He answered: Do what you will with me, I fear neither your outrages nor your fires.
I willingly give my life for a God who shed his blood for me.
He was then slowly tortured to death, enduring his agony with fortitude and praying for his torturers.

Teganissorens, 1693-1711
An Iroquois Indian chief; born in Onondaga, N. Y.; became a strong ally of the French; was converted to Christianity in 1693; and in the following year visited Frontenac, the French governor, to whom he proposed the rehabilitation of Fort Catarocouy (Kingston), which appeared to Frontenac as a wise policy.
He accordingly raised an expedition to carry out the plan which he was soon forced to abandon, owing to orders received from the French Court.
Later Teganissorens received both English and French agents, to whom he declared that he would remain neutral, and thereafter strongly protested against attacks on the English settlers.
In 1711 he gave information to the French that preparations were being made in New York, Boston, and Albany for the invasion of Canada.
He died in Caughnawaga, or Sault St. Louis, after 1711.
