The tribal organization was loose, 

 though, as a whole, the Mohave remained 

 quite distinct from other tribes. The 

 chieftainship was hereditary in the male 

 line. Their dead were cremated. The 

 population of the tribe in 1775-76 was con- 

 servatively estimated by Garces (Diary, 

 443, 1900 fat 3,000, and bv Leroux, about 

 1834 ( Whipple, Pac. R. R.'Rep., in, 1856), 

 to be 4,000; but the latter is probably 

 an overestimate. Their number in 1905 

 was otticially given as 1,589, of whom 508 

 were under the Colorado River school 

 superintendent, 856 under the Ft Mohave 



school superintendent, 50 under the San 

 Carlos agency, and about 175 at Camp 

 McDowell, on the Rio Verde. Those 

 at the latter two points, however, are 

 apparently Yavapai, commonly known 

 as Apache Mohave. 



No treaty was made with the Mohave 

 respecting their original territor}-, the 

 United States assuming title thereto. By 

 act of JNIar. 3, 1865, supplemented by Ex- 

 ecutive orders of Nov. 22, 1873, Nov. 16, 

 1874, and May 15, 1876, the present Col- 

 orado River res., Ariz., occu]jied by Mo- 

 have, Chemehuevi, and Kawia, was 

 established. 



Pasion, San Pedro, and Santa Isabel 

 have been mentioned as rancherias of the 

 Mohave. (h. w. h. f. w. h.)

Mohawk (cognate with the Narraganset 

 Mohowauuck, 'they eat (animate) things,' 

 hence 'man-eaters'). The most easterly 

 tribe of the Iroquois confederation. They 

 called themselves Kaniengehaga, 'people 

 of the place of the flint.' 



In the federal council and in other 

 intertribal assemblies the Mohawk sit 

 with the tribal phratry, which is form- 

 ally called the "Three Elder Brothers" 

 and of which the other members are the 

 Seneca and the Onondaga. Like the 

 Oneida, the Mohawk have only 3 clans,
