Onondogacona – the beautiful Indian name for Bone Lake, means LAKE OF THE SMALL PINES.  Carbon dating of artifacts shows the first known settlers were Indians who lived on Indian Point circa 900 A.D.  These Indians were the mound builders, and bone, pottery and beads made from shells have been found in the remains of their campsites. The mounds built by these people are very ancient, they outdate the traditions of the Indians who were here when the country was discovered.  The early Indians were a very large race physically and quite advanced.  They possessed arts akin to the Aztecs.  Whether they were driven away, or what became of them will possible never be known.
