Is there a demonic figure in the Mohawk nation?
No because we don't believe in good or evil, just that every person has some good in the and our "evil" is what we call mischievous. This is because in our mythology the beginning they're were two twins, they were more "yin and yang" than good versus evil. One was considered what some would call "good". He was always kind and made things that were beautiful and nonviolent, but the other brother would always twist them out of jealousy, though he made poisonous things, he also made some good things, like medicine. The "good" brother also once flew into a rage and killed his grandmother for favouring the other all his life. They are both respected equally, which is a major difference from other cultures.

What did Mohawk shelters look like?
TheMohawks lived in longhouses made of elm bark that were about 200 feet long. At each end there was a door with an emblem over it representing the clan. One longhouse would contain a clan, or extended family. There were separate rooms for each nuclear family (mother, father, and children). Out in the hallways there were storage shelves, and fireplaces every twenty feet. A longhouse contained up to about a hundred people. When there were too many people living in the longhouse, about half the family would break off and start their own longhouse. In Mohawk tribes a married couple would live with the bride's family and raise their children with them, so a longhouse would have one clan mother, the senior woman in the longhouse.
