 Molly Brant was raised in a Mohawk culture that was highly anglicized . In Canajoharie , the Brants lived in a substantial colonial @-@ style frame house and used many European household goods . The family attended the Church of England . Molly was fluent in Mohawk and English . It is not clear whether she was formally educated or whether she could read and write . There are several letters signed " Mary Brant " , but these may have been dictated by Molly and written by someone else . A letter from 1782 is signed with " her mark " , indicating that she may have been only semi @-@ literate .
