Indians, particularly the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) and other tribes, traditionally styled their hair into a mohawk by shaving the sides of their heads while leaving a strip of longer hair in the center. This hairstyle was often achieved using sharp tools made from stones or bones. The mohawk was not only a form of personal expression but also held cultural and spiritual significance, symbolizing bravery and warrior status in some tribes. Maintaining the mohawk involved regular grooming and care to keep the remaining hair healthy and styled.
