In Basin Falls, the Onondagas were a prosperous tribe living near the reservation and led by their chieftain and shaman, Turgado. It was a nice open field inside their camp ground, some woods, and even a tall waterfall. It was all peaceful until the people were swayed by Chief Parrish’s influence, as Jeremy Crane disguised himself and used his dark arts overmatching Turgado and even brainwashing Gavin when he, Ichabod, and Abbie were visiting the camp itself. Fortunately, the Witnesses were able to rescue everyone and Turgado made them as honorary members of his people, even Gavin and Jenny. Since then, half of the tribe decided to relocate to Sleepy Hollow and assist them more conveniently.
But when Pandora and the Hidden One arrived, and after Abbie and Joe’s passing, Turgado got very sick and the Onondagas moved back to Basin Falls. When Team Witness went to Washington, they reluctantly moved there in fear of discrimination, all for the revelation of the new child Witness, Molly. After Turgado passed away, the Onondagas stayed in Basin Falls ever since. That was until after Falcolor was chosen by Ichabod (Soaring Crane) out of two others, and after that the apocalypse/Tribulations were affecting the tribe. So, the entire tribe relocated to Washington discreetly and Falcolor and Ichabod agreed to stay in The Vault during those dire, destructive times along with their pet foxes, wolves, hawks, and falcons. Falcolor stayed behind until Ichabod and Gavin caught up to him, dealt with the Horseman of War again, and retrieved the fallen Cross. By the time the world was restored after Lucifer’s seal, they headed back except for Falcolor who stayed at the Vault for the ceremony of the Future Witnesses.
