Mohawk river
The Mohawk River is a major waterway in north-central New York, United States. The river flows approximately 143 miles (230 km) ESE from Oneida County, entering the Hudson River near Albany, making it the latter's longest tributary. The cities of Schenectady, Amsterdam, Utica, and Rome are built on its banks. The river and its supporting canal, the Erie Canal (a part of the New York State Canal System, called the New York State Barge Canal for much of the 20th century), connect the Hudson River and port of New York with the Great Lakes at Buffalo, New York.
Named after The Mohawk tribe of Indians who were one of many tribes that were part of the Iroquois Confederation and inhabited the area around the Great Lakes and parts of what is now Canada and the state of New York. They were considered the keepers of the Eastern Door, or borders, protecting the Iroquois nation from invasions from that direction. In their course of survival, the Mohawk tribe allied with the Dutch in the 17th century and later became allies of the English crown. The Mohawk tribe fought mostly against the United States in the Revolutionary War.
