FENIMORE COOPER AS A DEFENDER OF INDIANS
Abstract
The article discusses how Fenimore Cooper's novel "Pioneers", which is a part of the "Leatherstocking Tales" pentalogy, represents Indians in the work. The author portrays Indians as friends of all living things, including plants and animals, in this piece. Indians are portrayed in the work as defenders of the natural world. The loyalty and friendship of the Indian character Chingachgook to Natty Bumppo serves as an example of how vital friendship is to Indians in general. Through this work, the author assumes the role of an advocate for Native Americans, as the Native people are portrayed favorably and a positive image is established for them.
