A legendary chief of the Onondaga tribe, a Native American tribe of North America. He is said to have united the five tribes of Onondaga, Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga, and Seneca around 1570-1600 to form the Iroquois Confederacy, and taught them agriculture, navigation, medicine, and the arts. Based on academic sources, the poet Longfellow wrote a long narrative poem, Hiawatha (1855), which tells the life story of this legendary hero, using the meter of the Finnish epic poem Kalevala.
