Native-American history comes to life in this true and exciting story of how Hiawatha made peace among the Iroquois and formed the first League of Nations made up of five tribes before Columbus discovered America. When he is captured by the warring Chief of the Omandags, Hiawatha conceives a plan to bring all the Iroquois Chiefs together, and with the aid of an old sage he convinces the tribes that as a unit they can accomplish much in peace. The play includes colorful dances and ancient rituals making this a truly remarkable theatrical experience. It was originally produced by Children's World Theatre of New York City.
