The main character, Nathaniel ("Hawkeye"), was the son of white settlers. Early in the movie, Hawkeye tells Cora that "they murdered my ma & my pa & my sisters...Chingachcook found me with two French trappers & raised me up as his own." Hawkeye was white & was Chingachcook's adopted son...so casting a "real native american" for the lead role would have been inappropriate. :-)
@bundia56 Great reply to someone who was trying to be PC but who had obviously never read the book or seen the movie. Or if he had, hadn't been paying attention.
@nellydesign Actually, he is a white man raised by Native Americans. Hawkeye's name is Nathaniel Bumppo.
Although he is the child of white parents, he grew up with Native Americans, becoming a near-fearless warrior skilled in many weapons, one of which is the long rifle. (Wikipedia)
Therefore, casting a white man as Hawkeye is true to Cooper's novel.
everyone here comments something intellectual about history or so, and all i have to say is that daniel day lewis was freakin HOT in this movie

I think the song should be longer. It's just too epic to be so short.

@akajesusfreak If God wrote a song, it wouldn't be half as epic as the Last of the Mohicans.
