Set along Lake Superior's shores, it follows the fictional adventures of Ojibwe warrior Hiawatha and his tragic love for Minnehaha, a Dakota woman. Through childhood adventures, battles with evil magicians, and cultural innovations, the poem weaves together Native American legends that Longfellow adapted from various sources.
