raditional Mohican (or Mahican) territory is on both sides of the Hudson River, a vital lifeline by which the people named themselves, stretching north of today's Kingston and Saugerties. The Mohican language, closely related to Lenape varieties, is said to have been spoken by some even after the displacement of most Mohicans to the west. Today, the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Tribe is in Wisconsin, where some are working to revive the language, as are a group in northwest Connecticut associated with the Schaghticoke Indian Reservation continuing to struggle for recognition. Mohican should not be confused with Mohegan, which remained in use further east in Connecticut until the passing of the remarkable Fidelia Fielding, the last native speaker, in 1908. Today her descendant Stephanie Fielding is working to revive the language on the Mohegan Reservation in Uncasville, at Yale University and elsewhere.
