The Mohawk Indian tribe, part of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, differed from other tribes through their complex political structure and democratic governance, which included a council of chiefs representing various clans. They were known for their strategic alliances and involvement in European trade, particularly with the Dutch and British, which significantly influenced their economy and social structure. Additionally, the Mohawk were recognized for their agricultural practices and were often referred to as the "Keepers of the Eastern Door" due to their geographical position guarding the eastern boundary of the Confederacy.

Was black hawk a mohawk Indian?

No, Black Hawk was not a Mohawk Indian; he was a leader of the Sauk tribe, which is part of the Algonquian-speaking peoples. He is best known for his role in the Black Hawk War of 1832 against the United States. The Mohawk, on the other hand, are part of the Iroquois Confederacy and have distinct cultural and historical backgrounds separate from the Sauk tribe.
