While looking over
my tracker yesterday and seeing once again questions about the origin of my
people this time it was narrowed down to clans, so it made for good writing to
the blog yesterday
(Maïngan clan's origin).
While checking the
tracker, this site showed again, Mohawk Indian Tribe History.
The Mohawk people to
the best of my knowledge were not of a Matriarch society, at that time in that
area, not many tribes were.
Out of loving
respect to my Mohawk brothers and sisters, this is what was taught to me while
growing up under the guidance of my Moiigan
- Maïngan and Eastern Woodland Elders.
First, the Mohawk
people are correct when they say that the Mohegan's did not come from the great
lakes area, even though each time that we come to visit with them they take
great pride in showing the place where the Mohegan people won the only war
between the two tribes.
This should be
stated Mohican People not the Mohegan's of our people.
As stated in many of
my earlier websites and blogs it is explained that the word Mohegan is a
European mistaken word on paper.
The real name of our
people is Moiigans - Maïngan, and my
group were farmers, hence the reason why we were pushed east until we ended at
the ocean.
The tallest building
for many years in New London Connecticut has (or at least had, if someone did
not remover them, like what happened to my grandfathers two bronze plaques in
the Fort Shantok State Park.)
Four bronze plaques
one on each side of the building.
Two read Mohegan and
two read Mohican.
This Mohawk website
talks about the Abenaki people and the Algonquian people.
The problem with
this statement is that these two groups are a language of many tribes, not a
tribe, hence a reason why they, the Mohawks, were defeated so often.
WNLC New London began operations in the latter half of September, 1936. The studios were in the Mohican (or Mohegan) Hotel, 281 State Street and the transmitter was located on City Pier on the Thames River. The 1936 CT State Register lists the owner as Thames Broadcasting, Inc.
The United States New London Post Office calls in the Mohegan Hotel.
