For indigenous people's day, I rode to Montour Falls, named after Catharine Montour, a Seneca leader who was present when the Sullivan Campaign destroyed Native American settlements in 1979.
Although settler town called itself "Havana Village," the city eventually renamed itself Montour Falls over a century later, after the famous leader. Some reports say she returned to the town after the American Revolution, where she was visited by the French royal family in exile.
