‘The Peacemaker’ as told by Lynette Hill

An overview

The Peacemaker – A prophet on a divine mission to create an alliance between warring nations faces his greatest challenge in the monstrous swamp-dwelling, snake-haired magician known as the Tadedaho. How does a man of peace deal with such a creature? The story of the Peacemaker, a tale for all the ages, is the founding myth of the Iroquois confederation of six nations in North America.
