Hiawatha

The historical figure, Hiawatha, was the founder of the Iroquois Confederacy (located in current-day New York). He was a follower of a prophet known as “The Great Peacemaker”. Hiawatha, in this story, is a young boy who is seeking after a special dove to care for. He comes across Iktomi after Iktomi was ejected from the heavens again. He asks of Iktomi to paint him a dove to care for. Iktomi, not much of an artist, paints instead a badger, claiming that the badger is actually a dove. Hiawatha, never having SEEN a dove, is unduly fooled. Hiawatha is a lover of peace and a seeker of truth in all its forms (intellectual, personal, spiritual, and moral). He really has a servant’s heart, though sometimes, he’s too nice for his own good. While he travels to other lands in search of the dove he wishes to love so much, he usually comes across individuals who are either ignorant and unable to teach him anything, or they try to hide the truth from him, giving him no end of frustration.

Hiawatha actually tends to have much more to teach than to learn the more he travels, but usually, his words fall on deaf ears. Throughout his story, we will see how his insight registers with the many communities he visits. In the meantime, however, he will sharpen his skills at home in his land.
