Storyline Mohawk 1956
In 18th century upstate New York, a quarrelsome white man
named Butler seeks to foment war with the Indians, to rid the Mohawk Valley of
the natives and settlers he despises. He goes to the Iroquois chef Kowanen to
warn him about a party of armed white settlers. Kowanen shows no concern, but
his son Keoga and brave Rokhawah feel otherwise and plot a raid to steal the
settlers' muskets. They are assisted by Keoga's sister Onida, but many Indians
end up killed and Onida captured.
An artist, Jonathan Adams, has arrived from Boston,
commissioned to do paintings and portraits. He is joined by sweetheart Cynthia
Stanhope, a society lady from Boston, and attracted to Greta Jones, a local
barmaid. But when he escorts Onida from the fort back to her people, he
develops a romantic interest in her instead. Adams also earns the respect and
trust of Kowanen as he paints the chief's portrait and Keoga comes to admire
Adams' fighting prowess. Kowanen, seeking peace with the white settlers, offers
to have his son Keoga accompany Adams back to the fort, as a sign of good
faith.
As the two peace emissaries are en route to the fort, Butler
stages an ambush, murdering Keoga. Chief Kowanen's men hold the whites
responsible and take Adams captive, but he escapes, aided by Onida. When Adams
finally reaches the fort, he reveals Butler's perfidy. As the enraged Indians
attack, Butler is cast out of the besieged fort and meets his end in a hail of
Indian arrows. A truce is declared, and while Cynthia goes back to Boston with
his works of art, Adams remains behind to be with Onida.
