If I were a gambler I would bet that the rest of the 11 (9) are Mohawk!

Some of my ancestors may be among the beam sitters!

I love saying that because it unsets my Mohawk friends to think that a Mohegan (Mohican) could be related to their family. LOL

Every single time that I stop by the reservation someone feels the need to show me the spot were, they say, was the only battle my people won with the Mohawk, I just remind them that I have Mohawk blood! LOL

P,S.

Got Irish blood also! LOL
