[[File:ACIII-Remember 1.png|thumb|250px|The Kanien'kehá:ka people in Kanatahséton]]<br />
The '''Kanien'kehá:ka''' (Kanien'keha: ''People of the Flint''), also known as the '''Mohawk''', were one of the five original nations that made up the [[Iroquois|Haudenosaunee]], or Iroquois Confederacy.<br />
<br />
Originally from the area that would later become upstate [[New York]], the nation were known as the "elder brothers" and "keepers of the eastern gate(of the long house)" to the other nations of the confederacy.<br />
<br />
Due to their overwhelming support of the [[British Army]] during [[French and Indian War|French and Indian]] and the [[American Revolutionary War]]s, they were often subjected to slander, and were falsely nicknamed "Mohawk." This insult originated from the Algonquian language, which means "flesh-eater."<br />
<br />
During the 18th century, the Kanien'kehá:ka village of [[Kanatahséton]] was situated by a lakeside in the Diamond Basin region of the [[Frontier]].<br />
<br />
==Notable members==<br />
At least one of their members, [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]], joined the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]]. His mother, [[Kaniehtí:io]], brought him up alone, until she died underneath burning rubble when he was four years old. Also, one of Ratonhnhaké:ton's childhood friends was [[Kanen'tó:kon]], with which their bond remained together into later life. Meanwhile, [[Oiá:ner]] was the Clan Mother of the Kanien'kehá:ka village of [[Kanatahséton]], and showed Ratonhnhaké:ton the [[Crystal Balls|Crystal Ball]] where he learned of his destiny with the [[Assassins]].<br />
<br />
On a separate note, [[Atasá:ta]] was born into the Kanien'kehá:ka, but was trained separately by his father. Upon his father's death, Atasá:ta sought revenge on those responsible, and his genetic memories were later utilized in the [[Animus]] game console created by [[Abstergo Industries]]' [[Abstergo Entertainment|entertainment branch]].<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref><br />
<br />
==American Revolutionary War==<br />
During the American Revolutionary War, due to unresolved conflicts with settlers encroaching into the Mohawk Valley, and outstanding treaty obligations to the [[United Kingdom|British]] Crown, the Mohawk fought against the [[Continental Army]]. However, Ratonhnhaké:ton's village remained neutral to the fighting, as they were ordered by the [[First Civilization]] member [[Juno]] to protect the [[Grand Temple]].<ref name="AC3"/><br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*The Kanien'kehá:ka speak English in ''[[The Tyranny of King Washington]]'' because the developers felt the Kanien'kéha language took too long to translate and present on screen, and that the primary game had already presented the language in an authentic manner so it was unnecessary for them to do it again.<ref>[http://raptr.com/UbiGabe/news/5125780515d40ed291/raptr-q-a-assassins-creed Raptr Q&A: ''Assassin's Creed III'' and ''The Tyranny of King Washington'']</ref><br />
