That story about Uncas jumping off a cliff strangely resembles that of the Peacemaker whose name was kept secret by the Mohawks for a very long time. We now know his name was Deganawidah. He had to escape a cannibal tribe and used his hatchet to cut the limb of the tree he was holding on and thus fell in the fall and disappeared from sight. His pursuers deemed him dead and three days later he reached his own clan and founded the Iroquois Confederacy with Hiawatha a former cannibal who repented after he was surprised cooking human flesh in his hut through the chimney where Deganawidah could see him and yelled: Hyawatha, Aren't you ashamed? Then Hiawatha came out and surrendered to Deganawidah and vowed to take him as his teacher and together they have been said to be the founders of the 5 nations confederacy. ♾♾🌲♾♾
This in incredible. I have learned so much. Is there a story on how you got/found Eric Schweig to do the narration? I am so happy I stumbled upon this. Excellent - thank you.
It was pretty straightforward. I thought it would be cool to have Eric to do the voiceover as he played Uncas in Last of the Mohicans - and he had a great voice. I contacted him through his agent. Simple as that.
