There have been many people who have influenced the way that American history has developed but few people have had a great impact on the way that the Native Americans have been remembered throughout history then the Indian Confederacy, Pocahontas, and Joseph Brant. Their contributions have left a resounding impact on how Native American history and American history are remembered to this day. They helped to develop a written history, facilitate commerce, and to show that Indians could be successful in both white and Indian worlds. The story of DeKaNahWiDeh and Hiawatha is about how the league of six Indian nations joined together to form an Indian Confederacy. Originally, five nations joined together in 1390 with a sixth one (Tuscaroras) joining the confederacy in 1715. The five original nations are the Mohawk, Oneidas, Cayugas, Senecas, Onondagas, with the sixth of course being the Tuscaroras. The Indian confederacy created a council to write the traditional oral history down regarding the creation of the Iroquois Confederacy (which the Indian confederacy is named) in the late 19th century with the final draft being approved on July 3, 1900.

Upon reaching manhood, DeKaNahWiDeh built a canoe from white stone. DeKaNaWiDa mission in life, as appointed by the Chief of the Sky spirits, was to go to each tribe and spread peace and tranquility and to provide each tribe good "Tidings of Peace and Power." With the white stone canoe, DeKaNahWiDeh traveled from Indian nation to Indian nation spreading the good "Tidings of Peace and Power." In each Indian nation, he was told of strife, struggle, and blood shed among the Indian nations. Along the way, DeKaNahWiDeh met Hiawatha, who was the chief of an Indian nation. A short time after accepting DekaNaWiDa plan of peace, Chief Hiawatha lost his three young daughters. As a result of losing his three young daughters
