Steve McQueen's Hiawatha

In Lake Superior, a Native American scout sees the water and tells a chieftain he saw something on the water. This chieftain was no other than Hiawatha, who greets a visitor and his guides on a boat. He then tells the visitor a vision that when he arrives with him, it will be his final journey. Paddling into the sunset, the strange man is curious that he wants to know more about Hiawatha, to which his people begin telling the story of Hiawatha.
