Mohawk people (Oregon)

Not to be confused with Mohawk people.

The Mohawk or Mohawk River people were a tribe or band of the Kalapuya Native Americans who originally lived in the Mohawk River area of Oregon in the United States. They spoke a dialect of the Central Kalapuya language.

Like the other bands of the Kalapuya, they signed the Treaty with the Kalapuya, etc. in 1855, also known as the Dayton Treaty, which was negotiated by Oregon Superintendent of Indian Affairs Joel Palmer. In 1856, they were removed to the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation. Descendents of the Mohawk band are now part of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon.
