Hiawatha (Ayenwatha)
The Orator Who Wove Peace from Grief
Grief taught me words. Peace gave them purpose.
I was Hiawatha, warrior of the Onondaga, a man who knew the taste of sorrow and the fire of vengeance. Then came the Peacemaker, who saw not ruin in me, but the roots of reason. I traded war cries for councils, and grief for the Great Law. My voice, once raised in rage, now calls the Five Nations to sit as one beneath the Tree of Peace.
What I'm Into: wampum belts, the Peacemaker's silence, mending broken words, corn, beans, and squash, Jigonsaseh's wisdom
