The Mohawks are considered the easternmost tribe within the Iroquois/Six Nations Confederacy consisting of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca and Tuscarora Nations.
Several Mohawks and others of the Confederacy were respected allies of the British during the American Revolution, and in consequence of their alliance were forced from their homeland by their Rebel counterpart.
Captain John (1740-1811) was the recognized military leader of the Fort Hunter Mohawks of the Mohawk Valley, the forefathers of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte.
Native culture and history are alive and well in this unique shoreline community of Mohawks.
Nestled in the picturesque southeasterly corner of Hastings County, Tyendinaga took its name from Joseph Brant, a noted Mohawk Chief whose Indian name was Thayendinagea.
Every August, the TyendinagaMohawk Powwow takes place, bringing visitors from far and wide.
