The Mohawk Indians were part of the Iroquois confederacy and lived in upstate New York and eastern Ontario. They called themselves Kanien'keha:ka which meant "People of the Place of Flint" referring to the flint they used for arrows. It was the English version of an Algonquian name that lead them to be called Mohawk which meant "eaters of flesh" or "man-eaters". By the way, the Algonguians were enemies of the Mohawk.
