: I don't understand what this web site is about. It seems like it's mostly just about the movie. You know, the Mohicans are not gone. We live in Bowler, Wisconsin. If you want some history info we have a web site too. It's mostly contacts for the tribal offices and businesses but there is a museum on the rez and I think you can contact the museum from there.

The web site's quiddity;
Exploration of the immensely beautiful scenery utilized in the '92 film adaptation of a classic American literary work written by Mr. James Fenimore Cooper.
The web site's content;
A photographic guide book to the film locations; Musings on the film, the actors, the languages, historical accuracy, character development, actor interviews, first hand accounts, trivia from A to Z; History of the people & players who were involved in the Seven Years War, including MOHICAN HISTORY, biographies, colonial era facts & quotes, historical overviews, etcetera; The Script & Comparisons to the original work; Photo Galleries; Satire, Parody, & Humor; Interactive functions; Articles & Columns written by either myself, Rich, or contributing historians; etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
This is an extensive, comprehensive web site that has been LABORED upon for four years. It's about much more than the movie. Check out the link below for a look at Mohican History. Visit Off The Beaten Trail for a look at the original Mohican homelands of New York & the rich history of the Housatonic & Hudson River valleys.
Or, go to our home page & browse the various sections.
Enjoy.

PS There are Mohican descendants who live in places beyond Wisconsin. Just spoke to one such gentleman yesterday.
