: I have several rather stupid questions.......
: WHO is Le Francais Trader? the one making the Hawkeye wampum sash?
>Ahhhh ... THAT is a secret! Look, I already blew the identity of The English Trader at the Gathering!
: And even more to the point...what did Hawkeye use the sash for in the movie. I can't tell right off hand. Was it for his powder horn? A sling for his rifle? A strap for his haversack? Or what?
>I'm not an expert on that, but I believe it was 1- decorative and 2- "a record of the days of my father's people" ... or something like that!
