The left ear. 
How many times was Hawkeye hit by Hurons when he came to their village, before he could talk to the Sachem? |

Well he was pushed over by one of them and then I cut his chest with a knife and the third hit him on the back of the head so I guess 3 times. Is that correct???
In the hope that it is here is my question. Does Magua wear anything in his ears and if so which ear or in both ears and describe it? |

At the birth of the sun and of his brother the moon, their mother died so the sun gave to the earth her body from which was to spring all life. And he drew forth from her breasts the stars. The stars he threw into the night sky to remind him of her soul (the sky).
What was the name of the surgeon at the Fort who should have sewn up Uncas's wound? |

| Nope raindrops is right Light it was a round shaped dangly ear-ring in his left ear. It kind of looked like a Dreamcatcher to me. The feather was in his hair. I also noted that Chingy wears a very similar one in his left ear too. Go check that one out. Don't think it is the exact same but pretty similar to Magua's. |

Was it Mr. Phelps?
If that's right, here's another (maybe not-so-challenging) question:
What is Montcalm doing the first time we see him in the French camp? |

Yes, so I discovered upon watching it again and now I'll have to watch it one more time to check out Ching , uh...I mean his earing.
And the answer is: Listening to a chorus of spooky little girls while some weirdo dings a bell.
What was the name of the french man who read Webb's message at the surrender?

Bougainville was his name and no Light I did not love his accent. Don't want to offend anyone french on the board but French men's accents do not "do it" for me. Sounds wimpy I think coming from a man. Just me so please do not jump all over me. Give me a Spanish accent or an Italian accent any day.
After the first Ambush when our trio saves the day they set off on foot and Heyward asks Hawkeye how far to the fort what is Hawkeye's answer? |

I think it's "two days and a bit."
If I'm right, here's a question:
What is Col. Munro's first name? <insert Jeopardy music here> |

George? I know that was the real Col. Munro's name, but maybe it's different for the movie (?).
If that's right, here's another question. Sorry to return to the Montcalm-choir scene, but it's all I can come up with right now:
In what language is the choir of children in Montcalm's tent singing?  |

I love any accent but my favorite comes from the NA.
Weren't they singing in Latin?
If it was then....
Uncas was named after a real person among the Mohicans who had that same name, what was his status among the tribe?

In a word:
A Mohican chief-the son of Owenoco-was born in or near 1588. In 1626, he married the daughter of Sassacus, chief of the Pequots, and thus became a chief of the Pequot tribe. When a rebellion against Sassacus lead to his banishment, Uncas fled to the Narragansett tribe; but he subsequently made peace with the Pequots and returned. In 1637, he joined the English in a war against the Pequots, receiving a portion of captured Pequot land. This conduct earned him the enmity of the Pequots, Narragansetts, and other Indian tribes. In 1643, Uncas defeated the powerful Narragansett chief Miantonomo and executed him at the behest of the English colonists. In 1648 the Mohawks, Pocomtocks and other Indian tribes made war on Uncas but failed to defeat him. Besieged by the Narragansett chief Pessacus, he was saved by Ensign Thomas Leffingwell. In gratitude, it is said that Uncas gave the Englishman all the land on the site of present-day Norwich, Conn. During his life, he allied with the English in all the wars waged against the Indians, ending with King Philip's War in 1675. Uncas died in 1682 or 1683.

Woo-Hoo!
Bring it on, Baby!!
You're the first person I have met that knows the history behind Uncas! You're quite the historian!
So what's your question, wes1761?

I think the character of Cora was based in part on Jane McCrea, but I'm not sure about Alice.
So I guess I only half answered the question...sorry!
Here's a lovely painting, though:

John Vanderlyn's "Death of Jane McCrea"
By the way, nice answer on the Uncas question. My knowledge of early American history is so scant that my answer would have been something like "an actual Indian chief named Uncas."  |

Wes1761? Any knowledge? |

The Painting is interesting, when comparing the rest of the story behind Janes death. The painting, I offer this:
"John Vanderlyn (1755-1852), "The Murder of Jane McCrea," 1804, Paris. (Oil on canvas; 32-1/2" x 26-1/2") Wadsworth Atheneum. First exhibited as Une jeune fille massacré par deux sauvages au service des Anglais dans la guerre d’Amérique. (Originally The Murder of Lucinda, illustrating a passage in the Sixth Book of Joel Barlow’s The Columbiad.)"
Info I have place her Death at July 26, 1777 at Fort Edward. She was an attractive young woman, visiting with friends or family at Fort Edward at the time of Burgoynes invasion. She was betrothed to a young man living near there, who was then in Burgoyne's army. When that army approached Fort Edward, some prowling Indians seized Miss McCrea, and attempted to carry her to the British camp at Sandy Hill, on horseback. A Company of Americans attempted rescue, and a volley was fired at the Indians, a stray round hit Jane, killing her she was subsequently scalped by her captors. The body of Miss McCrea was recovered by her friends, and was buried at Fort Edward. A tale of romance and horror, concerning the manner of her death, went abroad. In September, a letter from Gates to Burgoyne, holding him responsible for her death, gave great currency to the story; and hundreds of young men flocked to the American camp hoping to avenge the wrong done to Jane.
Hope this makes sense!!

With regsrds to the trivia question:
Cooper fictionalized the capture of Jemima Boone, and Frances and Elizabeth Calloway. The girls, teens at the time, were floating on the Kentucky River on a hot Sunday afternoon (07/14/1776) and were captured by a war party consisting of 2 Cherokee and 3 Shawnee. They were led by the Cherokee Hanging Maw.
Jemima married one of the rescuers, Flanders Calloway, soon after. |

OH! You got me!
Good one Irish.
Thanks Wes1761 for the info. I looked into it myself out of mere curiosity and found about 4 different stories, none of them even similar and everyone of them stated the word "savages".
The one story I thought was way out there had Miss. Crae and another woman in a house near the fort when a group of soldiers galloped by on horses. They waved at the house and the "savages" took that as a sign/warning of some sort and then burst into the house and took Miss Crae captive. The man stating something like what you'd hear in the 1940's westerns..."My squaw, me take 'ern en nevr giv bock! 'Ern mine. Ugh." No I did not add the Ugh, it was really in there!
The other one stated the Miss. Crae was walking in the woods when the "savages" hopped out the bushes and put a hatchet in Jane's head to provoke the anger of the fort.
Your's definately makes more sense!
