In this battle, General Munro, the father of the two girls was also fighting. Unfortunately, their thoughts were misguided as it turned out to be one of the many battles in the French Indian War. The Mohican family rushed at the scene in time and rescued the survivors and whisked them to safety. At that time, a gang of Huron Indians attacked the soldiers and murdered all but two girls and a soldier. While family was hunting across the frontier, they came across a troop of British soldiers who were transporting generals’ daughters, Cora and Alice Monroe. During this war the English forged a partnership with the Indian natives Mohicans, while the Huron Indian tribe fought for the French colonists.

It should be remembered that this was the third year since the French and Indian war broke out in 1754. In this section the film is portrayed as an adventure set in 1757. The first scenes of the movie show Hawkeye and his adopted Mohican family hunting together and interacting with frontier colonists in their cabins. The movie originates in James Coopers 1876 novel which narrates the story of the last three Mohicans who are Chingachgood, his son Ungas, and his adopted son Hawkeye. In this essay I will discuss four main themes depicted in this film such as the frontier experience, the changing relationship between the English and the American settlers or colonials, the question of American identity, and lastly the symbols of group identity. During the war, the two colonial powers co-opted Indian tribes into the war with them.

The movie “The Last of the Mohicans” is set during the French and Indian War, when the French and English monarchies were competing for the control of the northeastern part of America which included Canada.
