There are powerful performances in this film and it was one of the first to have the Native American actors to speak their own languages. It gets high marks from Historian - Presenter Dan Snow on the historical accuracy of the costumes and portrayal of 18th century combat on the Frontier. When this came out I was mid-way in my Career at Colonial Williamsburg and I had friends who did re-enactments who worked as extras on the film.

Russell Means portrays Chingachgook, the title character. Means was an Ogalala Lakota and a prominent member of the American Indian Movement (AIM). He participated in the Alcatraz occupation in 1969, so his credentials are familiar to this Bay Area boy.

The only book I’ve read 3 times. In my twenties my dog’s name was Uncas. The movie is good thanks to the quality of the Actors.

Thanks Chester Beals for sponsoring. James Fenimore Cooper mythologized the Mohicans as a near extinct tribe. In fact Mohicans are alive to this day. They were pushed out of their ancestral lands in the Hudson River Valley, and ended up in the 19th century in Wisconsin. There are several thousand Mohicans surviving today. They are an Alogonquin people, those tribes inhabited Eastern Canada, New York and down through New England. There's another tribe called Mohegans, from eastern Connecticut, who are a distinct tribe, not to be confused with the Mohicans. James Fenimore Cooper was one of the most popular novelists of all time, He played a huge role in introducing America and Americans to the rest of the world, especially with his Leatherstocking Tales of five novels involving Natty Bumpo, known in Last of the Mohicans as Hawkeye. The greatest threat to the Alogonquin tribes on the eastern seaboard was not massacre by Europeans, but disease. Diseases that Europeans had lived with for centuries, and developed immunity, wiped out large populations of native tribes on the eastern seaboard. Different forms of flu that Europeans easily survived, often wiped out entire native villages. The famous native Squanto went with an English trading ship to England, lived in London, learned English etc. Decades later he returned to his native village in Massachusetts and found not a single survivor of an epidemic. Later, he went on to help the Pilgrims who settled Plimoth Plantation. **Native peoples on the eastern seaboard had trading relationships with European fishing vessels over a long period before the English settlements. It's believed this restricted contact was enough to introduce diseases unknown to native peoples.

This is such a great movie. When I was ten I read all the Natty Bumpo novels by James Fenimore Cooper. The Deerslayer, Hawkeye, Last of the Mohicans, and others. This movies handled the subject so well. Russell Means made a number of movies in Hollywood. I remember his most as the founder of AIM ( AMERICAN INDIAN MOVEMENT). Russell MEANS Was Oglala Sioux from Pine Ridge South Dakota, along with Dennis Banks from Minneapolis . I also remember in 1973 they led a 71 day occupation of Wounded Knee and declared a separate and independent Oglala Nation and set up a warrior society. Also a famous occurrence during the 1973 Academy Awards when Marlin Brando won his best actor Oscar for Godfather he did not accept his Oscar but sent a young Native American woman to accept the award and speak about what was happening to the American Indians in big cities and on Reservations. Both Russell Means and Dennis were from Sioux tribes and their native tongue was the same as costners Masterpiece.

“Great Spirit, maker of all life. A warrior goes to you swift and straight as an arrow shot into the sun. Welcome him and let him take his place at the council fire of my people. He is Uncas, my son. Tell them to be patient and ask death for speed, for they are all there but one…I, Chingachgook, last of the Mohicans.” I feel my chest get heavy as I breath in and out reciting that quote. So beautiful. I think you know by now how much I love Native American (and Japanese) culture, as do you. So I knew this reaction would be coming to the channel soon, and I have to thank Chester for bringing it to us sooner than later. Like Braveheart, and like The Last Samurai, this is a fictionalized story set within a real historical context. This is actually the 8th movie adaptation based on the novel by James Fenimore Cooper. I have only seen this version, so I can’t make comparisons, but man this is a doozy of a movie. The movie is set in the middle of the French and Indian War, but the ramifications of these events would have far reaching consequences on the birth of our nation. The resulting debt that the British incurred as a result of the French and Indian War was passed on to the American Colonies in the form of taxation, which further ignited tensions between the colonists and Britain, leading to the start of the American Revolution. The final 10-15 minutes of this film are, to me, movie magic. The moment that beautiful score weaves in as The Huron accept Duncan’s request to take the place of Cora as penance for the loss of Magua’s family and lead him away, the emotional roller coaster kicks into high gear. And like you, I roasted Duncan’s actions and lies throughout the film, but totally recanted my verbal bashing when he redeemed himself at the end. I think Duncan finally accepted Nathaniel and Cora’s love for each other and realized that Cora had a better chance of survival with Nathaniel. You referenced Disney’s Pocahontas a few times throughout the movie, and I was waiting and waiting for you to recognize Russell Means voice as Pocahontas’ father, Chief Powhatan. And then the credits started to roll, and I was like “What?!?!” But you got there during your outro…Whew! I’ve been to Fort William Henry several times up in Lake George, NY. There is a tour that you can take where you see the different sections of the fort while the tour guide explains its history. There’s also a demonstration by uniformed staff members of live musket and cannon firings. Lake George itself is beautiful, especially in Autumn. I know going to Disney World in Orlando is on your bucket list, but if you ever get a chance to visit Lake George, you’ll absolutely love it. Well, I rambled on for quite a while there…I’m so sorry. But when I’m passionate about a movie I can get lost in conversation about it. This is one of those movies. Two awesome reasons to celebrate 1992 😊. You know, this would be my favorite movie that is centered around Native American culture if it were not for that other little gem of a movie…Dances with Wolves.

Always wanted to watch this one. Sucked in and then the drift happens when they go in the woods. 🤬😂 Finally realize Amazon Streaming has the theatrical version and this is the Directors cut. Right around when the lady saw a cougar on that trail (mountain lion, panther, same thing in USA). Then it never lined up right. I still have the blu-ray player. Find a copy at a flea market or second hand store. EDIT-on second try it's the action sequences that seem to have the most drift. When it get's back to the dialog yada-yada-yada (😂😉😉) it sync's up again.👍

This is one of my favorite films due to the beautiful scenery in the filming locations. Some of it was filmed at Chimney Rock State Park near Asheville, NC. I hiked the trail in the climatic final scene and I can assure you the view is as awesome as you would expect. At first, I was a little disappointed that there was a chain link fence along the trail, spoiling the vibe as bit, but the closer I looked at the site, the more I realized that fence has probably saved more than a few lives. I can guarantee if you stray too far over the fence onto those rocks, there’s a good chance you’re not coming back. When we were there it was still a private campground and hiking area. It then it came into the possession of the state of North Carolina and they have made many improvements to it. That trip accidentally became very movie-oriented. A few years before, I had rafted the Chatooga River in northeast Georgia (film site of Deliverance) and a friend wanted to give it a go. After a couple of days there, we drove over to Asheville to meet more friends for a marvelous tour of the Biltmore Estate (see Being There and Hannibal). We all then stopped at Chimney Rock on our way back to Richmond. A memorable trip.

Movie Date With Kate

I am so glad you've highlighted where the movie was filmed because I've been wondering that since watching it. Chimney Rock State Park looks breath-taking. I am instantly also reminded of the song 'Colours of the Wind' as well as Pride Rock from The Lion King. That's flipping awesome you trekked up to the top. What a view - oh my. I'm glad you have that memory. I'm grinning about the fence. I wonder if someone thought they'd make too much money on America's Funniest Home Videos otherwise. Eeeek!!!

Kate yes that book is about the real wounded knee in the 1890s. The Sioux had left the reservation and they had begun doing the Ghost Dance against the wishes of the USGovernment. A number of the Sioux were performing in the Buffalo Bill Western Show where they reenacted the Battle of the Little Big Horn where Custer and all his men were killed. Sitting Bull the leader of the Sioux was part of that show, and was very popular during their European Tour. After the tour a number from that tribe left the reservation going to Wounded Knee. Sitting Bull and his family went off the reservation at that time and he vowed he would never return. The Government harassed Sitting Bull and his family and eventually shot Sitting Bull to death. The Government then attacked the area where the sacred ghost dance was happening killing over 100. The modern wounded knee happened in the early 70s where Russell Means and Banks where they were protesting the forcing of Native Americans off their reservation and into the cities especially Minneapolis MN where Dennis Banks were from. Many were on the streets , severe alcoholism , and very rough treatment by the police. By the way there is a very good movie titled 1
