The relative higher quality and lower price of British trade goods, upon which all tribes had become dependent. Not the least reason was his long-standing personal friendships with Sir William Johnson, His Majesty's Indian Agent for the Six Nations. Johnson was an adopted Mohawk, sponsored by the Mohawk chief.
No, that is not correct.The correct spelling is Mohawk.For example:"The Mohawk chief declared war on the local township."
The Mohawk's had two chiefs, a religious chief and the official chief of the tribe. The clan mothers choose the religious chief, and the official tribal chief is elected. The role of the official tribal chief is to deal with the US and Canadian government.
