How are Hawk-eye’s loyalties formed?

Hawk-Eye is a white man who has spent most of his life in the company of the Mohicans. A strange mixture of intolerance and humanity, Hawkeye is able to renounce most of his European heritage, but he can never be truly Indian. His loyalties are built around trust and acceptance of others who see him as a true Mohican rather than a dispossessed white man.
