The Mohicans
January 5, 2008
The Mohicans are a group of Indians that migrated and settled in Connecticut. The Mohicans are often confused with the Mohegan Indians, another tribe. A fictional book about the Mohicans was written by Thomas Cooper, called The Last of the Mohicans.
The Mohicans were constantly at war with other groups of Indians (such as the Iroquis), which helped shape their culture. They shared similar cultures with neighboring tribes, but they were different in the way they socialized and got along. The Mohicans had at least forty villages in a tribe. The villages were governed by successors of the current leader.
