Hiawatha is a character from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "The Song of Hiawatha," which is inspired by Native American culture and mythology. Minnehaha Falls, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is associated with the character of Minnehaha, Hiawatha's love interest in the poem. The falls are named after her, reflecting the connection between the location and the literary work. So, while Hiawatha is not from Minnehaha Falls, his story is closely tied to the site through the character of Minnehaha.

Minnehaha Falls is a waterfall in Longfellow's poem. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow used the name of the waterfall as the girl that Hiawatha fell in love with.
In Longfellow's poetry, Hiawatha is married to a Dakota named Minnehaha.
I guess her name was 'Rainbow'. Not 100% sure though..
Hiawatha took a journey to Minnehaha's father, the chief of the Dacotah tribe, to seek permission to marry her. This visit was significant as it demonstrated Hiawatha's respect for tribal traditions and his desire to honor Minnehaha's family. The encounter highlighted themes of love, respect, and the importance of familial approval in relationships within the context of Native American culture. Ultimately, Hiawatha's quest symbolizes the union of two hearts and the blending of their respective cultures.
The two silent and gloomy guests were Famine and Fever. They entered Hiawatha's home during a time of great hardship and sickness, eventually leading to the death of Minnehaha.
