Chingachgook was a fictional character from a fictional book series, [the] Leatherstocking Tales. James Fenimore Cooper was criticized strongly for his portrayal of Native American's in these fictional stories. He was also criticized for his portrayal of Women, Politics, maritime (in general) - quoting one critic "... his portrayal of women draws from one model don't vary / All sappy as maples and flat as a prairie."
As one who has not read his works, and shut off the movie based on his work (for being outrageously fictional, to the point of unbelievable) my thoughts would be he did not know his head from any other body part in portraying Native Americans. So I would not found much of your views on his fictional work.
