Hello and thanks for your question! 

There are a lot of Mohawk people in our area, especially near Cornwall and the Akwesasne Nation. If you want to search more about Mohawk peoples, you can also search the terms "Algonquin" and "Haudenosaunee". All three of those terms can also be used in naming their language. For example - "That fellow speaks Mohawk". 
 

Also, here is a couple of great websites put together by folks at Six Nations, another Mohawk community, in Southern Ontario. You can learn some different phrases and words. 

Kanienkeha

Ohwejagehka

Here's another site, to help figure out pronunciation:

Good luck with your project.
