The term "Mohican" refers to a Native American tribe originally from the northeastern United States, particularly in what is now New York. The Mohicans were known for their agricultural practices and their involvement in trade with European settlers. They played a significant role in early American history, especially during the French and Indian War. The Mohican people are often associated with the famous novel "The Last of the Mohicans" by James Fenimore Cooper, which romanticizes their culture and history. Today, the descendants of the Mohican tribe are primarily located in Wisconsin, where they continue to preserve their heritage and traditions.
