There are 15 schools in the USA with the word mohawk in the name.

The word "Mohawk" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and cultural significance, particularly in the northeastern United States. The Mohawk people are part of the Iroquois Confederacy, a vital indigenous group whose traditional territory encompassed parts of present-day New York and surrounding regions. Schools often adopt the name "Mohawk" to honor the heritage and history of the land on which they are built or to acknowledge the legacy and contributions of the Mohawk people to American history. Additionally, the name reflects the geographic features, such as the Mohawk River and Mohawk Valley, which are prominent landmarks in parts of New York State and neighboring areas. By using "Mohawk" in school names, educational institutions aim to foster an awareness of local history and cultural roots among students and the broader community.
