The Schenectady Massacre saw a party of more than 200 French Canadian and allied Mohawk, Sault (Ojibwe), and Algonquin warriors attack the village of Schenectady in the colony of New York. Sixty residents were killed. The French raid was mounted in retaliation for the Lachine massacre, an attack by Iroquois forces on a village in Quebec.
