Tadodaho and the Great White Pine: A Story About True Leadership

Tadodaho is the fierce monster leading the Onondaga Nation — he lives in a swamp and has snakes in his hair. When the Great Peacemaker and Hiawatha come to him with a message of peace and unity, what happens next not only transforms a tyrant into a true leader, but also creates a new nation. This is the story of how the Iroquois Nation came to be and how peace, compassion, and unity is stronger than fear, violence, and war.
