Mohawk (1956 film)

Mohawk is a 1956 American adventure western romance film directed by Kurt Neumann, starring Scott Brady, Rita Gam and Neville Brand.

In late 18th-century upstate New York, Cynthia Stanhope, a society lady from Boston, accompanied by her Aunt Agatha, travels to Fort Alden to surprise her fiance, artist Jonathon Adams.

Kowanen shows no concern, but his teenaged son Keoga and brave Rokhawah feel otherwise and plot a raid to steal the settlers' muskets.

With the help of Keoga's sister Onida, they enter the fort the a tunnel built by the garrison, but as they are leaving with the muskets are discovered and several are killed.

At the village, unarmed Adams defeats knife-wielding Rokhawah in a fight, earning the respect and trust of Kowanen and admiration from Keoga.

Kowanen, seeking peace with the white settlers, offers to have his son Keoga accompany Langley and Adams back to the fort, as a sign of good faith.
