The last of the mohicans?

Question

I thought the Huron tribe and the Delaware tribes were enemies, and that's why the Hurons wanted to capture Chingachgook and Uncas. But then why did the Hurons trust the Delawares with Cora as their prisoner?

Are the Mohicans(Chingachgook and Uncas) part of the Delaware tribe? Each of the tribes have tortoise symbols so I didn't know.

Answer 1

I watched the movie quite a few years ago, but never read the book.  There may be some information at one of these links that will help you find the answer to that question.
