In the record
The United States made one treaty or agreement that names Mohawk as a party: Mohawk at Albany, New York (1797).
The atlas records 1 broken treaty promise involving Mohawk: Fort Stanwix 1784: cession by Haudenosaunee delegates who lacked authority.
The records group it with Haudenosaunee (Six Nations). Today, Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe carries this history, as their own pages or research records say.
Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources. This is what the United States’ treaty record says, not the nation’s own account.
The record over time
Circles are land the United States recorded as ceded, sized by acres and colored by how it was taken. Bars are treaties, broken promises, court cases and land returns.
