From the book "The Iroquis in the American Revolution":
"It is the Mohawk Indians name for themselves; it means "Flint People".
The name "Mohawk" was an Algonkian term meaning "man eater"."
From a lesson plan on the Mohawk creation story:
"I also made use of the word Kanienkehaka - that means people of the flint, or Mohawk. I have only seen it spelled in Mohawk - I have never seen an English (phonetic) version of the word. Although, if I were to do so, I would spell it, Ganiengehaga."
