Onontio was a title used by North American Indians of the Great Lakes region to refer to the governor of New France. The title was first given to Charles de Montmagny and was subsequently applied to all later French governors. Onontio is a Mohawk rendering of "great mountain", the folk etymology translation of "Montmagny". Each Onontio was the head of the Franco-Indian alliance, and as such was expected to mediate quarrels, provide supplies, and, in general, maintain the alliance. The title was used by both Iroquoian- and Algonquian-speaking natives, who addressed Onontio as "Father".

| - Onontio fut le titre donné au gouverneur de la Nouvelle-France par les Amérindiens du Canada et des Grands Lacs. Onontio, grande montagne, dérive de la traduction en huron du nom du gouverneur de la Nouvelle-France, Charles Jacques Huault de Montmagny ("Mons Magnus", selon une étymologie erronée, d'où "Grande Montagne").Onontio pouvait aussi être appelé "Père" par certaines tribus amérindiennes. Cette appellation sera par la suite reprise pour tous les gouverneurs de la Nouvelle-France. Onontio, en plus d'une simple appellation, doit être considéré comme un titre reconduit à chaque changement de gouverneur et symbole de l'alliance franco-amérindienne. Le titre de Onontio disparaitra en 1763 avec la conquête du Canada par les troupes britanniques.Toutefois, dans un but de pacification, les Britanniques reprirent certaines charges et attributs d'Onontio. Le Roi de France était surnommé Onontio Goa soit « Grand Onontio » ou « la plus grande montagne sur terre ». (fr)
- Onontio was a title used by North American Indians of the Great Lakes region to refer to the governor of New France. The title was first given to Charles de Montmagny and was subsequently applied to all later French governors. Onontio is a Mohawk rendering of "great mountain", the folk etymology translation of "Montmagny". Each Onontio was the head of the Franco-Indian alliance, and as such was expected to mediate quarrels, provide supplies, and, in general, maintain the alliance. The title was used by both Iroquoian- and Algonquian-speaking natives, who addressed Onontio as "Father". Onontio fell from power in 1763 with the conquest of New France by the British empire in the Seven Years' War. The British conquerors seemed unwilling or unable to fulfill the role of Onontio, which was, as a father, that of a mediator and provider rather than a conqueror. As a result, the natives of the Great Lakes rose up against British rule in Pontiac's Rebellion, attempting in part to restore Onontio to power. The native war effort was a failure militarily, but the British revised their policies and began to fulfill some of Onontio's duties. The new Anglo-Indian alliance proved beneficial to the British Empire in subsequent decades as the British were able to enlist native allies in struggles against the United States. (en)
