Report:
The Mohawk and the Seneca Indians were part of a bigger tribe, the Iroquois. They are very similar, but in some ways they are different.
The Mohawk and Seneca Indians environment was very harsh. In he woods where they lived, there were deadly bugs called the Emerald Ash borer. They were so far away from their water hole, two miles at the least, that rivers were very important to them. They had lakes too, but there were lots of waste that the Europeans left for them in the lake. Since they didn't have a grocery store to go to, they had to get their own food. The woods and fields were a great source. The farmland was to. They would move their whole village just to get better farmland. In the winter, it is very cold, but in the summer, it is the opposite.
The Mohawk and Seneca Indians had many lasting contributions. The Mohawk hairstyle was what the Mohawk warrior's hair was like. That is still very popular today. They also practiced freedom of religion, like we do today. The Iroquois had many political beliefs, and Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson took many ideas from the Iroquois government, and put them in our government. The basis of our constitution is the Great Law of Peace, and so is the Iroquois's. Have you ever played the game Lacrosse? If you have, do you know who invented it? That's right, the Iroquois Indians. Lacrosse is still popular in many countries today.
Do you have any religious beliefs? I bet everyone does, even the Iroquois Indians. The Iroquois believed in many false things, like the Summer Initiation Festival, but not God. They also believed in Shaman, who is a person who acts as intermediary between the natural and supernatural worlds, using magic to cure illness, foretell the future, and controls spiritual force. Iroquois people that the whole world was balanced and everything had an equal chance to be bad or good. They thought that all life was important, with everything with its own spirit, and in order to be happy, you had to keep the spirits happy. They believed that they were always protected, because the spirit of their animals was supposed to protect the members of the clan.
The European ships brought many things to the Iroquois Indians. European people were sometimes good and sometimes bad. They brought good things like trades, but bad things like diseases and wars. In 1609, Samuel de Champlain befriended the Huron Indians and helped them fight the Iroquois. This battle led to the 150 years of bitterness and hostility between the French and the Iroquois. Good people like Henry Hudson and Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo, traded with the Iroquois. This included steel knives and tomahawks, as well as guns, powder, and ammunition. But the ships didn't only bring people, but also diseases. They didn't have any good medicines or real cures, so many people died from measles, small pox, flu, and more.
It wasn't always good though, because some Europeans traded rum, which had a very bad effect on the tribes.
Today, the Iroquois tribe is spread out. Scientists found out the exact locations for the tribe. Some of the whereabouts Mohawk whereabouts are, few miles east of Massena Ganiengeh: near Altona, north of Plattsburg Kanatsiohareke: along Route 5 near Fonda, NY, Akwesasne (St. Regis): south of Cornwall, Ontario Tyendinaga (Deseronto): at Deseronto, and east of Belleville, Ontario. Some Seneca people are Allegany: at Salamanca, between Jamestown and Olean Tonawanda: southeast of Lockport Cattaraugus: northwest of Gowanda, southwest of Buffalo, and In Oklahoma, Iroquois live near Turkey Ford, northeast Oklahoma (the Seneca-Cayuga Nation). The Iroquois Indians have there reserve in Canada, Six Nations Reserve: near Brantford, Ontario. Today most of the Iroquois tribe, including the Seneca and Mohawk, live in areas where there are gambling casinos and many tourist attractions.
