CONT

Contact Period in the Champlain Valley(1609-1664 AD)... 1609 the Mahican living in the Hudson Valley came in contact with Dutch explorer Henry Hudson. Shortly thereafter, the Dutch began to trade metal tools to the Mahican in exchange for furs. The Mahican also developed alliances with the French. When the English captured New Amsterdam in 1664, a region which included much of the Mahican's traditional territory, the Mahican were forced to develop alliances with the British. By 1700 the Mahican population had been decreased from an estimated 4, 000 to about 500 through European diseases, famine, wars, and political pressures. Many of the Mahican merged with other groups, including the Dutch, the Western Abenaki, the French, and the Mohawk Iroquois. By 1720 the Mahican no longer existed as an organized native tribe in the Champlain and Hudson Valleys. The influx of Europeans to the Northeast caused great upheaval among the region's Native American populations. Disease, confusing political and economic relations, and continuous warfare split native communities apart and forced them to join outlying groups....

Cedarleaf oil was essential to the Mohawk Indian way of life; they utilized its many qualities and learned the benefits of the natural healing power in this oil.

They govern themselves through the "Kaianerekowa" which, translated into English, means "The Great Law of Peace". The Kaianerekowa defines the constitutional responsibilities of the Hotinonsonni; all their people, women as well as men, are represented and have control of their government. Historians have recently admitted that the government of the United States of America was patterned from the Kaianerekowa of the Hotinonsonni which is a current form of democratic government.

Dans chacune des communautés mohawks, environ la moitié de la population vit sous la forme traditionnelle de gouvernement des Hotinonsonnis qui observe la Kaianerekowa, ou Grande loi de la paix. La Kaianerekowa définit les responsabilités constitutionnelles de Hotininsonnis et l'ensemble de la population, tant hommes que femmes, est représenté au sein du gouvernement et exerce un contrôle sur ce dernier. Des historiens admettaient récemment que le gouvernement des États-Unis d'Amérique a été façonné d'après la Kaianerekowa des Hotinonsonnis, formule tout à fait actuelle de gouvernement démocratique.
