| | Mahican |
 | | Mahican villages were governed by hereditary sachems (matrilineal descent) advised by a council of the clan leaders. | | | The Mahican were agreeable since they still claimed their old lands west of the Hudson, but after their defeat by the Mohawk in 1628, they no longer had any villages there. | | | A mission was established at Shekomeko (Pine Plains, New York) in 1749, but was closed after the start of the French and Indian War (1755-63) when its ministers protested white takeovers of native land and were arrested on the suspicion of being French agents. |

| | Mahican - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Stockbridge Indians allowed Protestant Christian missionaries to live among them and converted to Christianity in the 18th Century. | | | For this reason this group of Mahicans has also frequently been known as the Stockbridge Indians. | | | The Mahicans (also Mohicans) are a Native American tribe who were living in and around the Hudson Valley at the time of their first contact with Europeans in 1609. |

| | Most of the Mahicans left Schodack Island in the 1750s and were displaced, perhaps because of the French and Indian War. | | | In 1724 some of the Mahicans apparently went to Stockbridge, Massachusetts, as Christians, and by this time the remaining Mahicans may have established their village on Lower Schodack Island. | | | A deed in 1773 suggests there was a Mahican Indian settlement on this island, in addition to or subsequent to the one on Lower Schodack Island, and there may have been other houses on this island as well. |

| | The Indians who moved there were primarily Mahican, with some Housatonic and, I believe, Wappinger Indians as well. | | | The former can be verified as the modern day Mohegans in Connecticut refer to themselves as the 'People of the Wolf.' I've yet to find other references to support that the second meaning is any more viable. | | | I am beginning to see clearly the motivations of a Mahican Indian serving in the French and Indian War. |

Quinney (The Dish) sought to prick the consciences of his listeners by reminding them of the epidemic diseases, warfare, broken treaties, and land appropriations that had characterized Indian history throughout the eras of European colonialism and American domination on the continent. |

| | John Wannuaucon Quinney (Mahican) (1797-1855) |
| | The central issue in Quinney's speech is the displacement of the Mahican people throughout American history. | | | In most ways the speech reflects the oratorical styles of the day, but the reader might find it fruitful to analyze the ways in which Quinney applies his comments to his specific audience, draws on their knowledge of American history, and makes emotional appeals for justice. | | | Texts that touch on that displacement in earlier periods-- Bradford's or Rowlandson's and other King Philip's War texts, for example--can provide background to show how Quinney arrived at the views of history he expressed in 1854. |
