A Mohawk's Way, also known as The Mohawk's Treasure, is a 1910 short silent black and white drama film directed by D. W. Griffith, written by Stanner E.V. Taylor and based on James Fenimore Cooper novel, and photography by G.W. Bitzer. It stars Dorothy Davenport and Jeanie Maherson.
The film portrays American cultural precepts about blood-thirsty savage American Indians, and it assails the white man's cruelty against them.
