The Mohwak a tribe from the Northeastern culture area, resided in the mid-Mohawk River Valley of the upstate new York and Vermont. They often tattoo their bodies with sophisticated geometric desingns and men sometimes wear leggings. When a Mohwak boy is about 15, he begins to pluck his hair except for a strip down the middle and then grease to stick it up. This is the famous "Mohwak" hairdo. Every fall, the Mohwak would hold a celebration to give thanks to a bountiful harvest.
