Other than having read Dee Brown's "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" many
years ago (great book, BTW), I don't know anything about Native American
history, shame on me. But when we were down in Yuma for the Strike
Force, there were several geographic entities in the area that contained
the name "Mohawk". There was Mohawk Valley, the Mohawk Canal, and
others.

I've always associated the Mohawks with upstate New York, James Fenimore
Cooper and all that. Does anyone here know how the "Mohawk influence"
came to Yuma County, Arizona? Barring that, anyone have any suggestions
as to how I might find out? Googling "Mohawk" and "Arizona" wasn't much
help.
