Chingachgook: The frontier moves with the sun and pushes the Red Man of these wilderness forests in front of it until one day there will be nowhere left. Then our race will be no more, or be not us.
Hawkeye: That is my father’s sadness talking.
Chingachgook: No, it is true. The frontier place is for people like my white son and his woman and their children. And one day there will be no more frontier. And men like you will go too, like the Mohicans. And new people will come, work, struggle. Some will make their life. But once, we were here.

As we grow into adulthood; keepers of these communities- help us be wiser, gentler, stronger. The way seems lost; let us listen more and speak less. Let us heed our elders, yet mend the broken places of our parent’s generation.

I have one question for you: is the American project a journey or a destination? And if so, where are we trying to go? And why?
