The Mohawk people are also known as the Kanien'kehá:ka, which means "People of the Flint" in their native language. Additionally, they were historically referred to as the "Mohawks" by European settlers, derived from the Algonquian term "Mohowawogs," meaning "man-eaters." They are one of the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois Confederacy).
