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.
Who did the mohawks fight with?
The Mohawks had fought with the Mohawks and were given guns to them by the Dutch trade partners.
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.
This answer is just from the research I have done for a school project, but I and I am sorry if I got anything wrong.

Longhouses are made out of wood, bark, some animals skin. These are my ideas for what i know from.
If you mean when a Mohawk Indian cut his hair in 'that style' (a Mohawk) - it was normally only done in times of war; IE: A visual symbol that the person was on the path of war.
Where and when did the Mohawk tribe live?
They lived in upper New York state and they lived before the 1700's
The Mohawk or properly named Kanienkehaka ("People of the Flint") were a collection of villages in what is today Eastern New York State, from the earliest recorded accounts. Samuel de Champlain first wrote of the Kanienkehaka on the western shores of the present day Champlain Lake. Their tradtional lands were along the Mohawk River in Central New York State, and had several trading posts and seasonal camps throughout New York State and Canada.
Today they live in the following communities,
Inland New York:
Ganienkeh
Kanatsiohareke
Along the St Lawrence:
Akwesasne or St. Regis
Kanesatake
Kahnawake
Southern Ontario:
Tyendinaga

Do the United States ski troops still exist today?
The 10th Mountain Division is the closest thing to ski troops that the U.S. has today. The Division is trained extensively in mountaineering, skiing and cold weather combat, but as a part of the 18th Airborne Corps they also train in tropical/jungle and conventional warfare to be prepared for any type of combat situation that may arise. Soldiers stationed in Alaska and other arctic or cold weather regions also receive cold weather survival and ski training.
WW2:
During WW2, the 10th Mountain Division did not deploy to Europe with their specialized mountain gear after mountain training in CO. Of the few combat patrols conducted in Winter in Italy on skis, the ski soldiers conducted the missions on captured German skis! The 1st Special Service Force, 99th Infantry Battalion Separate (Norwegian American). an unknown parachute infantry rifle company, and the OSS Norwegian Special Operations Group (NORSO) were trained in Mountain and Winter Warfare. The only other American units to conduct ski operations are as follows: the 551st Parachute Infantry Battalion (Separate) conducted "Ski Scouting and Combat Patrols" during the campaign in the French Meritime Alps, and the aforementioned OSS NORSO Group conducted missions on skis in Norway in early 1945. There were rumored to have been some ski patrols during the Battle of the Budlge but I am unaware of any published reports comfirming this.
Post War:
After WW2 there existed for a time (1947-48) the 38th Brigade Combat Team which was a dedicated Mountain Warfare Unit. Later in the 1950's graduates of the Northern Warfare Center wore a Rams Head device as a skill badge. There have been some specialised Northern and Arctic units since 1945. Some of these were units such as the 207th Infantry Group (Alaskan Scouts) and the short lived (1970-1972) Company "O" 75th Infantry "Arctic Ranger" Long Range Reconnaissance Company in Alaska. The Alaskan Scouts no longer exist and have been replaced by a Battle Field Surveillance Brigade though this unit retains the 207th numerical disignation. For a time there also was a Special Forces Detachment in the Alaska National Guard that was specialised in Arctic Warfare.
Beginning in 1981 General Edwards, Commanding General of the Vermont National Guard got authorization for a Mountain Training School for all active and reserve ground forces in the Department of Defense. The school was to be located in Vermont. He also was able to set up a new Infantry Battalion, the 3/172nd Mountain Infantry. This unit is the only postwar true dedicated Mountain Warfare Table of Organization and Equipment (TO&E) unit in the U.S. Army active or reserve components. Leadership positions were coded with additional skill identifier "Echo". Additionally of the five states that had elements of the Battalion (VT, NH, ME, NY, and later, RI) were allowed to wear the Rams Head Skill Device on their uniforms.
Many other units such as the 172nd Infantry Brigade in Alaska trained in Mountain and Northern Operations as well. Many units such as rotating brigades of the 82nd Airborne Division trained in Alaska or Canada on a yearly basis. The American Airborne Unit stationed in Italy trained with the Italian Alpini as well. Rangers receive two weeks of Mountain Warfare instruction at the Ranger school in GA. These units send selected leadership personnel to these schools each year.
The only other dedicated "Ski Troops" are located in the Army's Special Forces Groups are selected Operational Detachment "Alpha's". These "A" Teams are designated "Mountain" teams and train in Ski and Mountain Operations. The Army Special Forces even runs it's own "Mountain Leader" Schools a couple of times a year. 3/172nd Inf BN still exists but is part of the Vermont National Guard's 86th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Mountain). The are now on a standardized modular TO&E as are all light infantry units in the U.S. Army (except the 75th Ranger Regiment). The 86th is a mountain infantry unit in name only now, just as is the 10th Mountain Division is. The 86th as well as the 10th does however send it's leadership personnel to Mountain and Northern Warfare Schools.
Update:
I almost forgot to mention the Air Force, Marines and Navy. The Marines have regularly conducted Northern Warfare training in Norway in addition to sending personnel to the Mountain Warfare School. The Marines have no didicated Mountain or Ski Troops outside of their excellent Mountain School. The Air Force trains selected personnel such as Combat Control Teams, Special Tactics Teams, Para Rescuemen and Air Force Special Operations Weathermen in Mountain and Northern Warfare at both Service and Civilian Mountaineering Schools. The U.S. Navy runs a course in Alaska for Navy SEALs and selected other special operations personnel to train them in skiing, Northern and mountain operations. The have a training cadre detachment based in Alaska. The SEALs also attend the Mountain Warfare Course in conducted by the U.S. Army. Selected SEAL Platoons have dedicated Mountain and Northern Warfare missions.

The Iroquois Confederacy consisted of five nations. The Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca. The confederacy was based in what is now the northeastern US and southern Canada, including New England, upstate New York, Pennsylvania, Ontario, and Quebec.
In their origin story, it tells how they came here from another planet they called Sky World. So they originated not on this earth, but as a planted speices, with at least two DNA gene improvements. The first was Sky Woman's daughter, Jiggonsassee, who then married North Wind, their four offspring becoming the first true homo sapiens or as the Haudenosaunee call them, Ongwehowe, real people, the first of Sky and Earth.
The Mohawk Indians were farming people. Mohawk women planted crops of corn, beans, and squash and harvested wild berries and herbs. Mohawk men hunted for deer and elk and fished in the rivers. Traditional Mohawk foods included cornbread, soups, and stews, which they cooked on stone hearths.
