What is the name of the Assassin's Creed III protagonist's Indigenous identity?

The story behind the answer

The Assassin's Creed III protagonist's Indigenous name is Ratonhnhaké:ton.

Ratonhnhaké:ton is a Kanien'kehá:ka man who later adopts the name Connor Kenway. He becomes an Assassin under the guidance of Achilles Davenport and fights during the American Revolutionary War, navigating conflicts involving the Patriots, Loyalists, British forces, and Templars.

The character's Indigenous identity is central to his story rather than a minor biographical detail. His mother, Kaniehtí:io, belongs to the Kanien'kehá:ka community, and the game explores the effects of colonial expansion and wartime alliances on his people.

Many summaries use “Connor” because it is the name most often used in English-language marketing and gameplay. Ratonhnhaké:ton is the character's birth name, while Kenway connects him to the wider Kenway family introduced through Edward Kenway in Black Flag.
