Comments: This 4 oz tobacco tin
was made by "Ginna & Co." for "Daniel Scotten & Co."
of Detroit, Michigan around 1910.
"Hiawatha" was a leader of the "Onondaga" and
"Mohawk" nations of Native Americans, he was also a follower of
"The Great Peacemaker", a spiritual leader who founded the
"Iroquois Confederacy". He was a clever speaker and politician,
enabling him to help unite the "Iroquois" people to become
the "Five Nations" of the "Iroquois Confederacy";
which later became the "Six Nations" in 1721.
"Longfellow's" famous poem bears little or no resemblance
between his hero and the real life person! To view other images of this item, please click here:
