'Mingo' refers mainly to western Iroquois who shared kinship & social organization with the Six Nations Confederacy, but who were politically independent of them -- generally Seneca, Cayuga (including Logan's father), Oneida, Onondaga, & Mohawk, although could also include Miamis & others, even stray Shawnee, living in their villages.
