	Reading and Hearing Natty Bumppo's Last Word in The Prairie
		Natty lies in the central meeting place of the Pawnee village, the sort of spot used for tribal councils during which leaders declaim public orations and hold public discussions, all intended for the edification of the tribe, all part of the process of aural discourse that imparts cultural knowledge and directs communal action.
		Natty's head is inclined with a "fine, military elevation" and he speaks "with a voice that might be heard in every part of that numerous assembly" (385).
		Once captured, Natty tells Hover and Ellen Wade that when the Sioux first question the trio, the trapper should answer since he is "most skill'd in the natur' of the Indian" and alone knows "something of their language" (43); clearly, Natty owes his skill in the former to his knowledge of the latter.

	NATTY BUMPPO: Trailing The Pathfinder
		Natty was described repeatedly as being a very simple person, and although his determined freedom from the structure of civilized society may have sounded like a simplified way of life, Cooper created a very complex human being who required a tremendously sophisticated store of knowledge and skills to survive in his environment.
		Natty has proven his manhood sufficiently by killing his first Indian; there is no need to obliterate his past and give him a new beginning, because, ostensibly, he is at the beginning of a life that has already been swept clean once.
		Natty loved both his parents dearly and dutifully, but was too enthralled with the joys of the woods and a rifle to be obedient to any wish they might have had for him to prepare himself for life with formal schooling.

		Natty Bumppo, whose presence on the lake long predates that of Temple, now appears an out-of-place squatter with no foot in this world of property and law; yet his blood-brother, Chingachgook, is the last representative of the Mohicans, the original owners of the territory.
		Natty resists the execution of the search warrant, is tried for both crimes, and sentenced to the stocks and to a fine and/or imprisonment (the stocks, Cooper points out, were a legacy of the common law, which Paine—unlike Cooper—was particularly anxious to extirpate in favour of a new republican code).
		Natty might well feel, in the words of the youthful Burke, that 'it is an incontestable truth, that there is more havoc made in one year by Men, of men than has been made by all the Lions, Tygers, Panthers...since the beginning of the world...

		Though Natty's experiences and actions comprise the core of Cooper's five-part narrative, details of his origins and the nature of his obvious symbolism are noticably lacking.
		Living on the literal edge of society in Deleware Indian country, Natty is both frontiersman and Native American; part of both the white world and the land of savages.
		Filled with contradictions, Natty combines "the soul of a poet with the nature of a redneck." He craves companionship yet trusts no one, is used by all yet owes nothing to anyone, and craves traditional society while fearing and despising civilization.

	The Early Life of Natty Bumppo

		Despite being British, Day-Lewis creates, for Blake, a Natty that is "a portrait of the inner strength of America" (407), which might suggest that the Queen's subject Day-Lewis, like his director and his character, senses within the precursor text a postcolonial text longing to be free, uses his own nationality to tap into Natty's psyche.
		Natty and his cronies, in their moccasins, are unafraid of direct contact with the elements and make their way with relative ease through the territory that baffles their colonizers, ease that far surpasses their novel-counterparts' even.
		Natty tells her they must leave the victims of the massacre unburied for pragmatic reasons--their safety--and thereby uses American thinking to demolish Cora's earnestly pled British ideology, based on her prayer-book reverence for a proper burial ceremony.

		When Cooper is referred to (or written off) as "the American Scott," the phrase usually refers to Cooper's romantic and epic adventure stories about Hawkeye (Natty Bumppo) and Chingachgook, his Mohegan friend and companion.
