: Hello, my name is Raul Tano. I am a high school student in Florida. I am working on a term paper about the history of the Mohican Indians, and i wanted to ask you all a question. I have viewed all of the mohicanpress website series, but a question i need answered still remains...how did a young boy get initiated into the tribe? Were there certain rituals or acts that needed to be performed? I would appreciate an email to the address shown...It would greatly help my research and greaten my knowledge of the Mohican Indian Tribe.
: Thanks,
: Raul Tano

Raul,

Check out these books; "The Light In the Forest" by Conrad Richter & ""Dickon Among the Lenapes" by M. R. Harrington. Also; Johann Heckewelder's "History, Customs, Manners of the Delaware ...." All deal with Delaware (Lenape) customs but are so close to Mohican ways that they'll help you greatly.
