My paternal lineage is a straight line to Scotland -but I have NDN blood on both sides as well. Cherokee and Shawnee blood run in my veins. An Ojibwe friend once told me, 'Indian blood is like gold - no matter how thinly it is spun it still shines'.
I'm unaware of any First Nations tartans although I am 100% certain the NE tribes wore various tartans due to intense trading, occasional plunder, various intrigues with this army and that during the wars and skirmishes which marked the middle phase of Euro-colonization of the North American continent.
A fitting tribute to the Mohawk aspect of your ancestry may be to add a tribal badge in place of a traditional kilt pin. I know some amazing artisans who could produce for you a stunning beaded sporran.
