[Edward Manning Ruttenber (1872)] general divisions are indicated by the terms : I. The Mahicans, as applied to that portion occupying the valley of the Hudson and the Housatonic; 2. The Soquatucks, as applied to those east of the Green Mountains; 3. The Pennacooks, as applied to those occupying the territory u from Haverhill to the sources of the Connecticut; " 4. The Horikans, who occupied the Lake George district, and 5. The Nawaas immediately north of the Sequins on the Connecticut. The first of these general divisions was again divided into at least five parts, as known to the au thorities of New York, viz : I. The Mahicans, occupying the country in the vicinity of Albany; 2. The Wiekagjwks, described by Wassenaar as "next below the Maikens;" 3. The Mech-kentowoons lying above Katskill and on Beeren or Mahican Island; 4. The Wawyachtonocks* who apparently resided in the western parts of Dutchess and Columbia counties, and 5. The Westenhucks, who held the capital of the confederacy. At the time of the discovery those embraced in the first subdivision had a castle on what is now known as Haver island, called by them Cohoes, on the west side of the river, just below Cohoes falls, under the name of Monemius' castle, and another on the east bank and south of the first, called Unuwat's castle.3 At 1 Johnson Manuscript, iv, 54.
