In Assassin's Creed III, Ratonhnhaké:ton is Kanien'kehá:ka. He is also known by the name Connor, but his Indigenous identity and upbringing are specifically connected to the Kanien'kehá:ka people of Kahnawà:ke.
The Kanien'kehá:ka are one of the nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, commonly known in English as the Mohawk. The game presents Ratonhnhaké:ton's childhood in a Kanien'kehá:ka community before his involvement in the American Revolution and the Assassin-Templar conflict.
Connor is a frequently used name for the character, but it is an English name adopted for easier interaction with some colonial characters. That convention can obscure the distinction between his personal name and his cultural background. Assassin's Creed III moves between Indigenous communities, frontier areas, Boston, and New York during the eighteenth century.
