		In Mohicans, Magua stands at the center of a Delaware tribe, condemning the in justices of the white man and asserting the virtues of the Indian.
		While Magua's travesty of justice under mines the very principles he invokes, his speech echoes with both the historical precedent of Wingenund and, simultaneously, with the arguments of white demagoguery: Magua is no simple ignoble savage.
		Similarly, Magua's speech on the three types of man, the scene which I introduced at the beginning of this paper, is remarkable not only for the way it mirrors the beliefs of some white racists of the time but for the way Magua seeks to situate Native identity through public language.
