Description:
From: North American Indian Costumes, Vol. 1, pp. 12-13: The Mohawks were the most easterly tribe in the Iroquois Federation of New York state. In 1603, Champlain heard of them and their country; six years later he had a skirmish with them. It was mentioned that at that time, they wore arrow-proof armour and used stone and steel hatchets as implements of war. They had a great reputation for cruelty towards their prisoners, and they sometimes ate these prisoners. In 1642, Father Isaac Jogues and some companions were captured by the Mohawks, and underwent cruel torture, but Jogues managed to escape a year later. The brave man returned to them in 1646, in an attempt to convert them to Christianity and to confirm the peace that had been made with them. A mission was established but was not successful, and the priest was eventually put to death by the Mohawks who accused him of inflicting sickness on them by sorcery. The Mohawks were the first in their region to acquire firearms. The Dutch furnished them with guns in exchange for beaver skins and captives. After that, it became easier for the Mohawks to conquer their enemies, though the tribe was actually not large. They proceeded to subjugate the Delawares and others, and eventually were the dominating power from the Mississippi River to the shores of Hudson's Bay. Owing to the geographical position of the tribe, it suffered more in the so-called French and Indian wars than any other Iroquois. At the beginning of the American Revolution, the Mohawk remained allies of the British, and at the end of hostilities, a large percentage of them went to Canada, where they have since lived on land granted them by the British Government. In 1650, the estimated population of the Mohawks was 5,000. Ten years later, it was 2,500. After that, their numbers declined rapidly. Like all other northeast woodland peoples, the Mohawks originally wore the breech cloth, a shirt and leggings of deerskin. The women usually wore a shirt and skirt. All were more or less ornamented with quills or painted designs. The men wore the hair roach, or a turban of soft fur. Men and women had moccasins with soft soles. Since the 19th century, the Mohawks use shirts and trousers manufactured in Europe which they adorn with glass beads and ribbon trimmings. The chief Mohawk (Pl. 8) has already acquired from the whites cloth for his coat and tunic, as well as his gun and powder flask. His moccasins, belt, head wear and the rest of his original dress have equally undergone a change. description From: North American Indian Costumes, Vol. 1, pp. 12-13: The Mohawks were the most easterly tribe in the Iroquois Federation of New York state.
