The celebration included dancing, praying and feasting. The Mohawk were members of the League of Six nations, also known as the Iroquois Confederacy. To other members of the league, the Mohawk were known as the "keepers of the eastern door." In an effort to gain control of the fur trade and obtain axes, knives and sword blades from the Europeans, the Mohawk often fought the members of other Algonquian-speaking tribes. In the mid-1600s, they were successful in obtaining guns. By the late 1600s, many of the Mohawk moved to Canada and established villages on the St. Lawrence River near Montreal. Other members of the tribe remained on their ancestral lands, and at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, sided with their British friends. After the war, this band also moved to Canada. Today the descendants of the Mohawk live in Canada and various parts of the United States.
