“Song of Hiawatha”:

Should you ask me, whence these stories?
Whence these legends and traditions,
With the odors of the forest
With the dew and damp of meadows,
With the curling smoke of wigwams,
With the rushing of great rivers,
With their frequent repetitions,
And their wild reverberations
As of thunder in the mountains?

Hiawatha was a real person who lived in 16th century America. Today, the legend of this peace-loving leader is remembered in stories and songs – and in this very famous poem.

Here, Hiawatha is in his canoe fishing for a giant sturgeon called Nahma. The poem tells the exciting story of their battle – read to the end and see how it turns out for Hiawatha!

This poem is really nice aloud. Listen out for the 4 strong beats in each line. After reading or hearing it once, find a section of about 10 lines you like best. Read this out loud, clapping or stamping your feet for each of the strong beats. Don’t worry about what each word means or pronouncing it correctly, just enjoy the sounds and think about what impression of Hiawatha the sounds and the rhythm give you.

To prepare a performance, start by emphasising the beats. Then try saying the words like ordinary speech. Then find a middle way – try to keep the rhythm of the poem and let the story shine clearly for your listeners.
