	Mohawk nation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because of ongoing conflict with Anglo-American settlers infiltrating into the Mohawk Valley and outstanding treaty obligations to the Crown, the Mohawks generally fought against the United States during the American Revolutionary War, the War of the Wabash Confederacy, and the War of 1812.
		The Mohawk Nation, as part of the Iroquois Confederacy, were signatories to the treaties concluding the Congress of Vienna in 1837.
		The name "Mohawk" was perhaps bestowed upon the tribe by the German mercenaries who fought with the British troops, who, mistaking a personal name for the group name, started to call the Kanienkehaka "Moackh." An English corruption of pronunciation turned it into the familiar "Mohawk" which is still used today.

		The question whether the St. Regis Indians and their reservation are covered by the Fort Stanwix and Canandaigua treaties was addressed at length by the Court for Franklin County, New York in People v.
		The court further found that, although in 1888 the Six Nations adopted the St. Regis Indians as "keepers of the eastern door" after the Mohawks lost that status by moving to Ontario, the "symbolic actions of the Iroquois Grand Council" were insufficient to bring the St. Regis Indians within the Canandaigua Treaty.
		Moreover, if the St. Regis Indians were adopted to succeed the Mohawks as "keepers of the eastern door" in 1888, this implies the St. Regis Tribe was not considered part of the Six Nations prior to that year.

		The Palatines, a strong willed and independent people, were angry about being tricked into their indenture but they persevered until the project eventually failed due to poor planning by the British.
		Unfortunately for the British it was these same traits and long memories that turned the Palatines against them during the Revolutionary War (1775-83) and the Palatines once again found themselves living on the front lines between the colonies and the enemy, this time the British and Mohawk Indians attacking from across the border in Canada.
		The freedom of our nation today is in large part due to these brave Palatine families who, in the bloody battles of the French & Indian War and later the American Revolution, sacrificed their homes, their lands and their very lives to help make this nation free.
