I remember reading somewhere that “Mohawk” (Iroquois Confederation tribe) was a Leni Lenape (Delaware) word for man-eater. The word “Mohawk” which we and now they refer to themselves is the mangled attempt by English speakers to say the Leni Lanape word.

Interesting; the Lenape were the natives here in NJ.
