Legend Of Tarenyawagon Who Came From The Heavens And Ascended To The Stars In His Fast Flying Shining Canoe

Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Among Native Americans, there are many fascinating myths that describe how life emerged on our planet.

One very beautiful myth tells of a remarkable godlike being who came down from the skies, took the form of a human, and spread wisdom and knowledge among mortals. Once his mission was completed, he ascended back to the stars in his fast-flying, shining canoe.

The legend of Tarenyawagon comes from the Iroquois, a League or Confederacy of tribes in the Northeastern part of America. Two great Native American heroes, Hiawatha and the Great Peacemaker, united five tribes: the Cayuga, Onondaga, Mohawk, Seneca, and Oneida. Later, in the 1700s, the Tuscarora tribe joined.

The story of Tarenyawagon occasionally reflects some of Hiawatha's accomplishments, which is why he is occasionally considered a demi-god. The difference is that Tarenyawagon was a godlike being in mythology, while Hiawatha was a real historical person.

Still, setting aside Tarenyawagon's supernatural abilities, the stories about these two individuals are strikingly similar. What conclusions can we draw from the legend about Tarenyawagon and the history of Hiawatha?
