MOHAWK

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 647 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MIC-MOL
MOHAWK , a tribe of North American Indians, the
chief
  people of the Iroquois confederacy. The name probably means " man-eaters "; they
call
  themselves Kaniengehaga, " flint people." Their villages were in the valley of the Mohawk river, New
York
 . Their territory extended northward to the St Lawrence and southward to the
Delaware
  river and Catskill Mountains. They were thus early in
touch
  with Dutch and English, and were the first Indians to obtain firearms. In the War of Independence they fought with the English, and finally took
refuge
  in Canada, where most of them have remained.
See INDIANS, NORTH AMERICAN. For Mohawk cosmology see 21st Annual Report Bureau Amer. Ethnol. (1899-1900).
