I guess you are referring to the so-called "Mohawk hairstyle" that many people today incorrectly believe was worn by the Mohawk Iroquois. This idea is totally false, so forget everything you ever heard about Mohawk native Americans wearing their hair like that.
Unmarried Mohawk women and girls, like all the Iroquois group, wore their hair long and loose; married women wove it into one large braid at the back, doubled up and fastened with a buckskin strap.
Mohawk men either wore their hair long and loose, or cut in a fringe at the front, or shaved all the head except for a round scalplock at the crown (back of the head), with a roach of dyed deer hair attached with a bone "spreader", to which was fixed a single feather. Nothing like the modern "Mohawk" hair style, which no historic Mohawk Iroquois would recognise.
