A Mohawk village.

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

During the American Revolutionary War, most of 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. The Mohawk refer to themselves as Kanien'keha:ka, or "keepers of the Eastern door".
• The Mohawk were one of the nations of the Iroquois Confederacy, the most powerful Native American alliance in eastern North America.
