Hiawatha (1913 film)
''Hiawatha'' is a 1913 silent film directed by Edgar Lewis and based upon Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem ''The Song of Hiawatha'' (1855). The film stars Jesse Cornplanter of the Seneca people and Soon-goot, a 17-year-old unknown actress.〔"Unspoiled Indians in True Portrayals", ''New York Dramatic Mirror'', April 9, 1913, p. 31.〕 The movie is the first feature film to use a cast of American Indians.
==Plot==
The story begins along the Lake Superior Michigan shoreline with the appearance of a mighty spirit that tells the Indians a peacekeeper will bring wisdom and unite the warring tribes. Hiawatha is born to Wenonah and after her death her mother Nokomis raises the child. Hiawatha becomes an excellent hunter and later weds Minnehaha, but she dies during a severe winter.
The final episodic adventure tells of the arrival of the "Black Robe" or missionary
who brings Christianity to the Indians. Hiawatha welcomes him and proclaims the real prophet has arrived. As Hiawatha bids farewell to the warriors, he tells them to listen to the words of the missionary and then departs forever toward the sunset.
