Fort Orange, a site later part of Albany, was in the land of the Mahicans. This tribe's name for themselves was Muhhekunneuwand they were sometimes called Mohicans.

James Fennimore Cooper famously confused the tribe with the Mohegans, a completely different tribe who were related to the Pequot.

The Mahican language has been well recorded but it is no longer spoken.
