According to [[Hendrick Aupaumut]], the Mohicans came to the area from the north and the west. They settled along the Mahicannituck, which is now called the Hudson River, and called themselves the ''Muh-he-con-neok'', the "People of the Waters That Are Never Still". This name evolved to ''Mohicans''.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Origin and Early History|url=https://www.mohican.com/origin-early-history/|access-date=2021-09-13|website=www.mohican.com|language=en|archive-date=September 11, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210911195350/https://www.mohican.com/origin-early-history/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
