The most famous Mohawk Indian is considered to be Joseph Brant or Thayendanegea, Mohawk chief, diplomat, and warrior during American Revolution, or Kateri Tekakwitha, first Native American saint known as Lily of the Mohawks, both very famous historically. Joseph Brant, Thayendanegea meaning two sticks bound together for strength, born 1743, was Mohawk chief and leader of Iroquois Confederacy who fought for British in American Revolution, brilliant diplomat, warrior, and educated in English, who led Mohawks to Canada after war founding Six Nations Reserve, famous for leadership and ability to navigate both worlds. Kateri Tekakwitha, born 1656, Mohawk-Algonquin woman who converted to Catholicism, known for piety, canonized as first Native American saint in 2012, known as Lily of the Mohawks, famous for religious devotion. Modern famous Mohawk is Robbie Robertson, musician from The Band with Mohawk mother, and Jay Silverheels, actor who played Tonto. So most famous Mohawk Indian historically is Joseph Brant Thayendanegea for political and military leadership, and Kateri Tekakwitha for religious significance, both internationally known, with Joseph Brant often cited as most famous Mohawk due to role in American Revolution and founding Canadian Mohawk communities.
