The Story of Hiawatha, Adapted from Longfellow Produced by Emmy, Tor Martin Kristiansen and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "The Story of Hiawatha" by Winston Stokes is an adaptation of the well-known poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, likely written in the early 20th century. This work is a prose retelling that aims to engage both younger and older audiences with the rich legends of Native American culture, particularly focusing on the life of Hiawatha, who is depicted as a great leader and hero. The text weaves themes of wisdom, nature, and the importance of community, as it follows Hiawatha's journey from childhood to his pivotal role among the tribes. The opening of this adaptation introduces the Great Manito, who calls for peace among the tribes and sets the stage for the birth and upbringing of Hiawatha. We learn about Hiawatha's mother, Wenonah, and his nurturing grandmother, Nokomis, who instills in him a deep respect for nature and communication with animals. As Hiawatha grows, he learns skills like hunting and fishing, and his character begins to develop through interactions with the forest creatures around him. The stage is set for his adventures, indicating that his journey will involve quests, battles, and a deep connection to the land and its legends—all while unifying the tribes. This brief beginning establishes Hiawatha's early life and hints at the struggles he will face as he grows into a legendary figure.
