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.
