About this listen

A 12-year-old Iroquois boy rethinks his calling after witnessing the arrival of a mystical figure with a message of peace in this historical novel based on the creation of the Iroquois Confederacy.

Twelve-year-old Okwaho’s life has suddenly changed. While out hunting with his best friend, his friend is kidnapped by marauders from a neighboring tribe. Okwaho barely escapes back to his village where everyone lives in fear of raids and killings: The five tribes of the Iroquois have been at war with each other for far too long, and no one can even remember what it was like to live in peace.

Okwaho seeks only revenge, which will just perpetuate the violence. But before he can retaliate, a visitor with a message of peace, as told in the lore of the of the Iroquois nation, comes to him in the woods.

The Peacemaker - a vision in white buckskin with a calm demeanor and soothing words - tells the boy that he can convince even the most warlike leaders of the wisdom of peace. Okwaho joins the legions of others who believe, and is present when the great treaty creating the Iroquois Confederacy is enacted.

We listened to this book as it was suggested by the Sonlight Homeschool Curriculum. My kids are 10, 7 and 5. We all really appreciated this story once we got a handle on some of the Native American words. This certainly helped my kids remember the Iroquois League of Nations with much more detail than I ever could have hoped for. This is a wonderful book.
