=Mohawk Indians.= A tribe of the Iroquois confederacy. Their villages
stood in the valley of the Mohawk River. From their position as the
easternmost of the Iroquois tribes, they came first in contact with both
the Dutch and English to the south and the French on the north. They
took a leading part in most of the wars between the Iroquois and the
French, as well as with other tribes. In the Revolutionary War they
sided with the British; and afterwards removed to Canada, settling
principally on Grand River, in the Niagara peninsula. _See also_
