The Song of Hiawatha
Hiawatha was an Indian chief, who lived, as the legends say, at the end of the 15* century He was brave and loved his people. He taught them many things - to grow maize and to build boats. He introduced crafts and an. The Indians loved Hiawatha and made him the hero of many stories and legends The first part of the poem is about Gitche Manito, the “Great Spirit”, or god, in whom all Indians tribes believed. They believed they were all his children and he was their loving father. They ere ready to do everything they thought he told them Here Gitche Manito teaches people to live in peace and help one another The Peace-Pipe
On the Mountains of the Prairie,
On the great Red Pipe-stone Quarry,
Gitche Manito, the mighty,
He the Master of Life, descending On the red crags of the quarry,
Stood erect, and called the nations.
Called the tribes of men together.
From the red stone of the quarry With his hands he broke a fragment,
Moulded it into a pipe-head.Shaped and fashioned it with figures.
From the margin of the river Took a long reed for a pipe-stem,
With its dark green leaves upon it;
Filled the pipe with bark of willow.With the bark of the red willow;
Breathed upon the neighbouring forest,
Made its great boughs chafe together.
Till in flame they burst and kindled;
And erect upon the mountains,
Gitche Manito, the mighty,
Smoked the calumet, the Peace-Pipe,
As a signal to the nations.
All the tribes beheld the signal.
Saw the distant smoke ascending.
The Pukwana of the Peace-Pipe.And the Prophets of the nations Said ” Beyond it, the Pukwana!
By this signal from afar off Bending like a wand of willow,
Waving like a hand that beckons,
Gitshe Manito, the mighty.
Calls the tribes of men together,
Calls the warriors to his council!”Down the rivers, o’er the prairies,
Came the warriors of the nations,
Came the Delawares and Mohawks,
Came the Choctaws and Camanches,•
Came the Shoshonics and Blackfeet,
Came the Pawnees and Omahas,
Came the Mandans and Dacotahs,
Came the Hurons and Ojibways,
All the warriors drawn together By the signal of the Peace-Pipe,
To the Mountains of the Prairie,
To the great Red Pipe-stone Quarry
And they stood there on the meadow.
With their weapons and their war-gear. Painted like the leaves of Autumn.
Painted like the sky of morning.
Wildly glaring at each other;
In their faces stem defiance.
In their hearts the feuds of ages.The hereditary hatred,
The ancestral thirst of vengeance.Gitche Manito, the mighty,
The creator of the nations.Looked upon them with compassion,
With the paternal love and pity;
Looked upon their wrath and wrangling But as quarrels among children,
But as feuds and fights of children!
Over them he stretched his right hand.
To subdue their stubborn natures.To allay their thirst and fever.By the shadow of his right hand,
Spake to them with voice majestic As the sound of far-off waters.
Falling into deep abysses,
Warning, chiding spake in this wise:
“1 am weary of your quarrels,
Weary of your wars and bloodshed.
Weary of your prayers for vengeance.
Of your wrangling and dissensions All your strength is in your union.
All your danger is in discord;
Therefore be at peace henceforward.
And as brothers live together
“If the listen to the counsels,
You will multiply and prosper,
If my warnings pass unheeded.You will fade away and parish!
“Bathe now in the stream before you. Wash the the war-paint from your faces, Wash the blood-stains from your fingers. Bury your war-clubs and your weapons. Break the red stone from this quarry. Mould and make it into Peace-Pipes,
Take the reeds that grow beside you.
Deck them with your brightest feathers, Smoke the calumet together.
And as brothers live henceforward!”Then upon the ground the warriors Threw their cloaks and shirts of deer-skin. Threw their weapons and their war-gear, Leaped into the rushing river,
Washed the war-paint from their faces From the rivers came the warriors,
Clean and washed from all their war-paint. On the banks their clubs they buried. Buried all their warlike weapons
Gilche Manito, the mighty,
The Great Spirit, the creator,
Smiled upon his helpless children'
And in silence all the warriors Broke the red stone of the quarry. Smoothed and formed it into Peace-Pipes, Broke the long reeds by the river,
Decked them with their brightest features. And departed each one homeward
