In British English especially, a Mohican is a haircut: the sides of the head are cut off or shaved, and a strip of hair on top is made to stand up, sometimes a bright colour — the punk look. Americans usually call that haircut a Mohawk. The name was borrowed from a rather cartoon idea of Native warriors' hair; it is fashion, not careful history. Though actually Mohican (also written Mahican) is first an English name for a people of the Hudson River valley, in what is now the northeastern United States. Their own name is often explained as “people of the estuary” — people of the place where the river meets the sea — though scholars still argue about the exact wording. Mohegan is a closely related name for a related people; English has sometimes treated them as one, which they are not. James Fenimore Cooper's novel The Last of the Mohicans made the name famous worldwide, and also left many readers with a too-tidy story of a people who had “vanished”, which is not how Mohican / Mahican communities tell their own history. So the haircut and the people share a name in English, but one is a style and the other is a nation.
