Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "I think that Hiawatha’s legacy is extremely relevant today, especially because Iroquois democracy has directly influenced the US Constitution...The focus on how the principles of peace and anti-violence were used to found an extremely powerful union of people and solve a major conflict was something I found greatly inspirational."
