Of all the various groups of Native Americans in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada, none are more famous than the Six Nations that comprise the Iroquois Confederacy.

The Wampum Bird - A story	Iroquois	US - Northeast
One legend tells how the Iroquois hero Hiawatha, while travelling through the territory of the Mohawks, came to the edge of a great lake. As he was wondering how to cross it, a huge flock of ducks descended on the lake and began to drink the water. When the birds rose up again, the lake was dry and its bed was covered with shells. From these shells Hiawatha made the first wampum beads and used them to unite the tribes in peace.
