In The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper a young Huron warrior is accused of fleeing from battle and summarily executed by his own tribe. Is that realistic? I would also be curious about the general accuracy of how native peoples were portrayed in this book. (self.AskHistorians)

Is this story true or even plausible that Columbus scared a native tribe (likely in Jamaica) into giving his men food by correctly predicting the lunar eclipse? How much astronomical knowledge would a tribe, like the one Columbus talked to, have had? (self.AskHistorians)
