The Mohawks were a proud and independent people who had a long history of fighting for their land and their rights. In the 1880s, they were living on reservations in Canada, but they were still facing discrimination and poverty. When the British government asked for their help in fighting the Mahdist rebellion in Sudan, the Mohawks saw it as an opportunity to prove their worth and to fight for a just cause.

The Mohawks who volunteered for service in Sudan were a diverse group of men. Some were farmers, others were hunters, and still others were laborers. They were all united by their shared heritage and their desire to serve their country.

The Mohawks arrived in Sudan in 1884, and they were immediately thrown into battle. They fought bravely against the Mahdists, and they quickly earned the respect of their British comrades. The Mohawks were known for their stealth, their tracking skills, and their ability to fight in close quarters.

The Mohawks fought in a number of key battles during the Sudan campaign, including the Battle of Abu Klea and the Battle of Khartoum. They also played a vital role in the defense of the British garrison at Suakin. The Mohawks' bravery and determination helped the British to achieve victory in Sudan, and their story is a testament to the courage and sacrifice of Canada's First Nations people.

The Mohawks who fought in Sudan returned home as heroes. They were celebrated for their bravery and their service to their country. They also brought back with them a new sense of pride and confidence. The Mohawks who fought in Sudan helped to pave the way for a better future for all First Nations people in Canada.
