I watched this movie when I found it for free on Prime Video. You can also watch this for free on YouTube, it's one of those more accessible movies. I do think it's a little awkward or corny at some times. Song of Hiawatha was fairly interesting enough to watch through, the movie starts out with some European Settlers who find an American Indian tribe, in eastern North America, specifically they must be Ojibwe. The story is a flashback about the legendary figure known as Hiawatha, and if you are someone not familiar with him, you can do some research first if you'd like before watching this movie, pretty neat stuff to read. (I read the Wikipedia article not the poem.) The movie also covers a little of the founding of the Haudenosaunee since Hiawatha was one of the major players in doing that.

Fairly decent movie, cool to see some Haudenosaunee stuff in film
