Historic New York
The Mohicans
On his 1609 voyage up river, Henry Hudson encountered the Mohican Indians, members of the Algonkian Language family, related tribes covering much of the northeast, Canada and more. The Mohicans called this tidal river of the Atlantic Ocean the "Muhheakkanituk" - The Everflowing Waters - and themselves the "Muhheakkaniuk" - The People of the Everflowing Waters. Before Dutch and English colonizers encroached upon them and their downstream relatives, the Munsee Delaware, they were a powerful tribe, occupying land from the southern shores of Lake Champlain down to the Catskill Mountains, and from west of Schenectedy east to the mid-Housatonic Valley in western Massachusetts. The Mohicans settled in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, as a "Praying Town" in 1736 and became known as Stockbridge Indians. They subsequently moved to east-central Wisconsin, their current residence.
