The Mingo tribe was a small Ohio based group of people related to the Iroquois Confederacy. "Mingo" was a outsider's name applied by Anglo-American settlers in the Ohio valley.
The group consisted of members of both the Seneca and Cayuga nations. By 1750, the Ohio Seneca had left the Iroquois homeland in New York and traveled to the Ohio country, where they joined the Ohio Cayuga.
The men and women in the Mingo tribe had daily activities. The men traded and hunted for animals like deer and fish. The women took care of property, family, and farming crops such as corn, squash, and carrots.
They used tools made out of wood and flint such as spears, flint knives, and bows and arrows for hunting, and hand axes, and wooden hoes for farming and for choping down trees. The last tool they used was bark canoes for fishing.
Facts about their homes are that the longhouse was popular among tribes in the Northern United States. Europeans who came to the U.S. wrote about Native American longhouses in their diaries and letters. Native American longhouses where rounded at the top and constructed from wood poles fastened with leather straps instead of nails.
The natural resources the Mingo used were bark to build their houses with and they grew corn and carrots to harvest and eat during the winter.
The Mingo built scared masks for decorative purposes and wore them around the city. They also carved wood pipes to use with tobaco and sometimes even traded them.
