Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "The Song of Hiawatha" is a narrative poem based on the legends of the Ojibwe people.

The poem tells the story of Hiawatha, a legendary figure, and his adventures.

Longfellow's use of trochaic tetrameter creates a distinctive rhythm and musicality.

The poem is rich in imagery and evokes the natural beauty of the landscape.

Despite its popularity, the poem has faced criticism for its romanticized and sometimes inaccurate portrayal of Native American culture.
