Paul Anthony Wilson Wallace (1891 - 1967) was a Canadian historian and anthropologist who specialized in colonial American history, focusing on Pennsylvania Germans and Native Americans in Pennsylvania. This book was first published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 1946. In this book Wallace recounts the legend of Deganawidah and the founding of the Iroquois Confederacy. It is based on the three main English language versions of the legend. The Great Peacemaker, sometimes referred to by his name Deganawida, was an Indigenous prophet and founder of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (or Iroquois League) according to Haudenosaunee oral tradition. Along with Jigonhsasee and Hiawatha, he was a central figure in the promulgation of the Great Law of Peace and development of the Haudenosaunee Grand Council, unifying the five nations of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca. Epilogue by Dennis J. Banks. He was a Native American activist, teacher, and author. He was a longtime leader of the American Indian Movement, which he co-founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1968 to represent urban Indians. Illustrated by John Kahionhes Fadden an Akwesasronon artist and educator whose artworks appeared in over 90 publications, including books, films, and periodicals. His work depicts Haudenosaunee culture and history, as well as the natural beauty of the Adirondack Mountains, where he made his home.
