PEOPLE OF THE FLINT The Mohawks are the most easterly tribe of the Iroquois confederaton, and as original members of the Iroquois League, or Haudenosaunee, the Mohawk were known as the "Keepers of the Eastern Door." For hundreds of years, they guarded the Iroquois Confederation against invasion from tribes from the New England and lower New York areas. They call themselves Kanien'gehaga, "people of the place of the flint." They are an Iroquoian-speaking indigenous people of North America originally from the Mohawk Valley in upstate New York. Their territory ranged to present-day southern Quebec and eastern Ontario. Their current settlements include areas around Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River in Canada.
