Hiawatha and the Peacemaker

De: Robbie Robertson

Narrado por: Piter Marek, David Shannon - Illustrator

Born of Mohawk and Cayuga descent, musical icon Robbie Robertson learned the story of Hiawatha and his spiritual guide, the Peacemaker, as part of the Iroquois oral tradition. Now he shares the same gift of storytelling with a new generation. Hiawatha was a strong and articulate Mohawk who was chosen to translate the Peacemaker's message of unity for the five warring Iroquois nations during the 14th century. This message not only succeeded in uniting the tribes but also forever changed how the Iroquois governed themselves - a blueprint for democracy that would later inspire the authors of the US Constitution.

Good story of loss and finding your way through it

Great story about loss and finding peace through the pain. Favorite part of the story was when the peacemaker jumped off the tree and then waited for the Indians to find him.

Harmony, Unity and Peace

Haunting as the story takes the reader through the pain of losing loved ones, which is unimaginable to anyone; and brings the tribes together through forgiveness. Hate is painful. The power of people, individual and collective, can take away pain when they realize there is something larger to reach for…Forgiveness and Peace
