Spirit of Hiawatha

written and illustrated by Demi

Brings History to Life for Young Catholic Readers

To restore peace and to unify his people, the great leader of the Iroquois, Hiawatha, brought the Iroquois tribes together in a federation. They named it the "League of Five Nations".

Hiawatha, a peacemaker ahead of his time, inspired many legends as he prepared the way for the Gospel to spread in North America. An engaging, colorful story that sets the scene for the missionary work of the heroic Jesuits of the 17th century!

Demi's vibrant artwork combines delicate mixed media—watercolor, ink, and collages—to bring to life the inspiring story of Hiawatha.
