Mohic'ans, or MOHEGANS, a warlike sub-tribe of Delaware Indians, which in the 17th century settled in Connecticut, and afterwards helped the English against the French, and the colonists against the English. Of the few survivors, some remain at Norwich, and the rest are in Kansas and at Green Bay, Wisconsin. Their name has become widely known through Cooper's novel, The Last of the Mohicans.
