Last of the Mohicans a visual feast

Page 13

What Michael Mann's direction brings us in the Last of the Mohicans, a script adapted from the James Fenimore Cooper novel, is a well crafted visual feast of images about "the frontier." This is imagery that is embedded in a tradition of Romanticism about the "new world." This is not to say this film avoids the violence of Black Robe - there are generous portions of that, in new varieties.

Native bands under Treaties 6, 7 and 8 in Alberta believe self-government under the current constitutional package will jeopardize their Treaty rights.

Many of them intend to make their dissatisfaction known by abstaining from the Oct. 26 referendum.

"If we become involved in this process we will indicate that we are for the process, and we are not for the process," said Chief Roy Fox of the Blood Reserve.

FIRST PERSON

Human nature and a need to belong often repress us from saying what we feel

is important. The following prose is written with pure candidness as only a child could express.

Hear me.

Mine is not a political voice. Neither am I academic, economic, or racist. Sadly,

I lay dormant in most men and women, yet active and alive in all children. I am the universal voice of youth, and I need to be heard.

I originate from a different world, one you believe you already know everything about. Only I can boast of this.
