You there, Scout! We must rest soon, the women are tired.
Magua No, two leagues, better water. We stop there.
No, we'll stop in the glade just ahead. When the ladies are rested, we will proceed. Do you understand?
Magua [speaking Huron]
Magua understands that the white man is a dog to his women. When they are tired, he puts down his tomahawk to feed their laziness.
Excuse me, what did you say?
Magua Magua said... he understands English very well.
I come to you unarmed and in peace to unstuff your ears, Sachem. Let the children of the dead Colonel Munro go free. Take fire out of the English anger over the murder of their helpless ones. Sachem, the French fathers made peace. Magua broke it. It is false that the French will be friends still to the Huron. Would Magua use the ways of Les Francais and the Yengeese? Would you?
Magua Yes.
Would the Huron make his Algonquin brothers foolish with brandy and steal his lands to sell them for gold to the white man? Would Huron have greed for more land than a man can use? Would Huron fool Seneca into taking all the furs of all the animals of the forest for beads and strong whiskey? Those are the ways of the Yengeese and the Francais traders and their masters in Europe infected with the sickness of greed. Magua's heart is twisted. He would make himself into what twisted him. I am Nathaniel of the Yengeese. Hawkeye, adopted son of Chingachgook of the Mohican people. Let the children of the dead Munro and the Yengeese officer go free. This belt, which is a record of the days of my father's people, speaks for my truth.
