Chingachgook

Chingachgook or Unami Delaware, which means "The Great Snake" or “Le Gros Serpent” - a North American Mohican Indian. A young leader, a brave and just warrior, respected by friends, inspires fear of enemies, a kind and wise Indian, Father of Uncas and old friend Natty.Refers to the "noble savage" type. The Great Snake, does not mean that he really is a snake; no, his name says that he knows all the twists, all the corners of human nature, that he is silent and knows how to deal blows to his enemies in such moments when they do not expect it at all.

Chingachgook grew up and was brought up in the Indian tribe, where the laws of honor, justice, and fidelity to the traditions of ancestors operated. Among these people, Chingachgook is known as the bravest and noble among the warriors.

Together with the hunter Nathaniel Bamppo and his son Uncas, he tries to save the two daughters of one of the British commanders. The girls were on the territory of the English fort just at the time when the Indians, with the tacit consent of the allied French, staged massacres there. Trying to save the eldest of the sisters, the only son of Chingachgook perishes. And it is Chingachgook who becomes the last of the Mohicans, the last leader and the last representative of the once powerful but now extinct tribe.
