"The proud nation of Mohican Indians that once roamed a vast homeland in the woodlands of New England from the ocean to the shores of the Hudson and Housatonic rivers to the west, and from Manhattan Island to Lake Champlain in the north now holds its tribal council on the reservation in Bowler, Wisconsin. Mohican, Wappinger, and other Algonquian Indians banded together in the missionary town of Stockbridge, Massachusetts as they were pushed westward by the European colonists. Brothertown Indians from Pennsylvania and Delaware Munsee Indians later joined this group which underwent 6 major resettlements following the loss of the homeland. The Many Trails symbol represents the travels of the Mohicans far from the council fires of New England to the present day location of north central Wisconsin.
Van Cortlandt Park, in the north Bronx has a history area describing Indian Field, which is an athletic field built on a burial site of Stockbridge Indians who were ambushed and killed by British soldiers during the Revolutionary war. A plaque was put up there in 1906."
