Set in the Pictured Rocks wilderness, which straddles the southern shores of Lake Superior, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow attempts to recount the thoughts, emotions of the characters, and the beauty of their natural surroundings. The story represents Hiawatha as a noble man; resourceful, brave, and capable of great passion regarding his romantic interest Minnehaha. While Hiawatha's tale draws from Native American oral traditions, the story itself is an original work.
