MOHAWK

The Mohawk Indian tribe, of the Iroquoian linguistic stock and Eastern Woodlands area were once the chief people of the Five Nations of the Iroquoian Confederacy. Their first contact with the European settlers
came in the form of conflict, fighting against Samuel De Champlain. Dutch explorers managed to trade with the Mohawk, exchanging rifles for furs. In latter years, the British formed an alliance with the Mohawk, to fight the French and American colonists. After the American Revolution, most of the Mohawk relocated to Canada, where most of them still reside today.
