"From the waterfall be. hamed her Minnehaha, Laughing Water- Thus wrote Longfellow in his epic of the North Ameri- can Indians, "Hiawatha."

The story of Hiawatha sym- bolises the growth of civili- sation among the Iroquois tribo. After teaching his people how to grow cora, to make boats, to extract oll from fish and medicine from herbs, Hiawatha desired to: show them the blessedness of marriage and home life.

For his bride he chose the daughter of the arrow-maker of Dacotah, the beautiful Minnehaha, named after the -waterfall beside" which "her father's house stood. For many moong they were happy together! Then came 拯 winter of extreme frost and famine, when no food could be obtained. To Hiawatha's grief Minnehaha" died, and
