Posted - October 29 2007 : 5:21:00 PM Magua, Chingachgook, Uncas, and Hawkeye all have alternate French names. Magua is Le Renard Subtil, Ching is Le Gros Serpent, Uncas is Le Cerf Agile, and Hawkeye is (of course) La Longue Carabine. I don't think Ching or Uncas's names appear in the movie though. |
