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 U.S. Constitution. Caldecott Honor-winning
illustrator David Shannon brings the journey of Hiawatha and the
Peacemaker to life with arresting oil paintings. Together, the team
of Robertson and Shannon has crafted a new children's classic that
will both educate and inspire readers of all ages. Includes a CD
featuring an original song written and performed by Robbie
Robertson.
