MOHICANS

 

     Pronounced "muh-HEE-can.” The word means "from the waters that are never still;" the Mohican name for the Hudson River. They lived along the banks of the Hudson River, in modern-day New York state and also in parts of Massachusetts, and Connecticut. The tribe was ruled by sachems, or chiefs. Mohican men were hunters and sometimes went to war to protect their families. Mohican women were farmers and also did most of the child care and cooking. They enjoyed storytelling, artwork and music.
