The Mohawk ARE a tribe, not WERE a tribe. We're not extinct.149.119.215.83 15:13, April 18, 2012 (UTC)

Edit: Added a couple factual additions. Namely, another varitation of the name in their language as well as removing "Native American" term.LancelotLoire (talk) 13:56, October 19, 2012 (UTC)

Renaming the Page

Should the page be called 'Mohawk Tribe' instead of of simply Mohawk, or should it even be Kanien'gehaga or Kanien'keha:ka? (Joe 2416 Assassins! Wikians! 16:10, November 13, 2012 (UTC))

Personally, I prefer "Mohawk tribe". Crimson Knight _Intercom 15:37, November 18, 2012 (UTC)

No, i've spoken with Master Sima Yi and he didn't feel the need to change. Also, look at the Mohawk Wikipedia page, it is just Mohawk JoeJoe2416 Assassins! Wikians! 16:51, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

Personally speaking, I'd name it Kanien'keha:ka but have a redirect so when someone types in "Mohawk" it'll lead them to that article. Supreme Master Assassin^{O Mentoras} 16:54, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah i like Supreme's idea Kanien'keha:ka (Peoples of the flint or People of the flint) seems a more fitting coinage.Trever09 ^{A place for Chivalry | Blog} 17:13, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

It's a lot more authentic and that's what they were originally called, "Mohawk" is just colonial adoption or some kind of English transliteration. Besides, the only reason the Wikipedia page has it spelled as "Mohawk" is because not many people will remember how to spell "Kanien'keha:ka". Think about it. Do any of you type in "Ratonhnhake:ton" in the Wiki's search bar? Supreme Master Assassin^{O Mentoras} 17:25, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

Put it to a vote then. --Kainzorus Prime ^{Walkie-talkie} 17:33, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

Silent Shadow

What about the Silent Shadow, he's also a Mohawk.

Are they Mowhawk?

Are we sure the villages mentioned are a mowhawk tribe? I know Haytham Kenway calls Kaniehtí:io a Mowhawk in one scene, but in a later scene in which she is naming off the tribes of her allies, he asks her who she represents. She responds with, "I represent myself." If she's a bit of a free agent, it's possible that she could have allied herself with any given tribe to rest during her pregnancy. Do we have confirmation based on the way the tribes are depicted that they are Mowhawk? I have heard that the voice actors used were Mowhawk tribe members.

Yes we are sure the village belonged to the Mohawk. The location of the village at the time was around where the Mohawk lands were. The voice actors hired are members of the Mohawk tribe and I am guessing can speak it. The characters were named in the Mohawk way. Ubisoft hired a Mohawk cultural advisor while working on the game, and as far as I know they didn't hire somebody from another tribe. LancelotLoire (talk) 21:59, November 30, 2012 (UTC)

Nation > Tribe

Per this interview with consultant Thomas Deer, I have changed instances of tribe to nation because the latter was a more accurate description of native organisation. I think in game, only Samuel Adams calls the Mohawk a tribe, and as we know he's not one for the facts. --Alientraveller (talk) 19:23, December 4, 2012 (UTC)
