WHAT IS THE MOHAWK TRIBE?
Well, simply put, the Mohawk Tribe is a tribe of the First Nations, or FN. In the 16th century, the Mohawk Tribe helped to create the legendry Iroquois Confederacy and joined it. When the Europeans came in, their lives were majorly changed. After that, one of the worst things in all of Canadian History happened. The First Residential School was opened in 1830, followed by many others. Residential Schools took FN children away from their parents, locked them in their dormitories, and forced them to clean the school, with various other labour. Despite all this, Residential Schools did do some good things. For example, they taught the children reading, writing, and arithmetic.
