Kanien'kehá:ka: Difference between revisions

The Mohawk were a tribe of Native Americans found in upstate New York. At least one of their members, Connor Kenway, joined the Assassin Order.

During the American Revolutionary War, the Mohawk sided with the British, and helped fight the Americans. After the war, most of the tribe migrated up into Canada.

Trivia

The name Mohawk – meaning "man-eaters" – was given to them by their rival tribe, the Algonquians. It is unknown if they were a cannibal culture, or if the name referred to their alleged ferocity in battle.
"In the Mohawk language, the people call themselves the autonym, Kanien'kehá:ka, "People of the Place of Flint" or "People of the crystal" or "People of the shards of light". It has been spelled in a variety of ways as Europeans tried to put it into their phonetic systems" (e.g. Canyeers.)[1]
"The Dutch also referred to the Mohawk as Hawks, Egils, or Maquas."[1]
