MOHICAN, MAHICAN AND MOHEGAN

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 648 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MIC-MOL
MOHICAN, MAHICAN AND MOHEGAN , the first two the alternative names of an important tribe and confederacy of North American Indians of Algonquian stock, and the last a dialectic form of the name applied to a branch tribe. The Mohicans inhabited the Hudson valley, and their domain extended into
Massachusetts
 . The Mohicans were called by the French Loups (
wolf
  Indians), a
translation
  of
Mohican
 ." At first their council-fire was at Schodac, on an
island
  near Albany, and they were grouped in
forty
  villages. In consequence of attacks by the Mohawks, they moved their council-fire to what is now Stockbridge,
Massachusetts
 , in 1664; in 1730 many migrated to the Susquehanna valley,
Pennsylvania
 , and became absorbed into the Delawares. In 1736 those left in Massachusetts were placed on a reservation at Stockbridge, and called by that name. A few of these Stockbridge Indians, who may be truly called " the last of the Mohicans," are now settled, with some of the Munsees, on a reservation at Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Mohegans, originally an offshoot of the
Mohican
 , lived on Thames river, Connecticut, their county extending into Massachusetts and including Rhode
Island
 . In 1637, on the destruction of the Pequots, an offshoot of the Mohegans, the Mohegans claimed their country too, and thus the territorial power of the
two tribes was consolidated under one Mohegan
chief
 . For some time the Mohegans remained the supreme Indian people of southern New England. Eventually they sold most of their lands and centred in a small reservation on Thames river. They have now practically become
extinct
 .
