Hiawatha
Hiawatha was a legendary Iroquois leader and co-founder of the Iroquois Confederacy alongside the Great Peacemaker. After his three daughters were killed by the evil wizard Tadodaho, he was consumed by grief and wandered the wilderness. The Great Peacemaker found him and taught him the Condolence Ceremony to ease his grief. Hiawatha invented wampum — strings of purple and white shell beads — to record the laws and treaties of the growing Confederacy. He became the great orator who convinced the Five Nations to unite under the Great Law of Peace
