The Mohawk are a tribe of indigenous people that was originally found in upstate New York.[1] They call themselves the Kanien'gehaga or Kanien'keha:ka, which means "People of the Flint". During the 18th century, one such Mohawk village was situated by a lakeside in the Diamond Basin, on the Frontier.
Notable members
At least one of their members, Ratonhnhaké:ton, joined the Assassin Order. His mother, Kaniehtí:io, brought him up alone, until she died underneath burning rubble when he was five years old. One of his childhood friends was Kanen'tó:kon, with whom he remained friends together into later life.[2]
American Revolutionary War
During the American Revolutionary War, due to unresolved conflicts with settlers encroaching into the Mohawk Valley, and outstanding treaty obligations to the British Crown, the Mohawk fought against the Continental Army, though Ratonhnhaké:ton's village remained neutral to the fighting, as they were ordered by the First Civilization member Juno to protect the Grand Temple.[2]
