Maiden of the Mist: A Legend of Niagara Falls

Long ago, a Seneca tribe lived on the Niagara River, just upstream from a great waterfall. With plenty of fish and crops to feed them, life was good in their village. Then a sickness came to the people, and everything changed. As the situation worsened and people died, Lelawala, the chief s daughter, came up with a plan to help. She would go to the thunder god, Hinu, and find out why he wouldn t help her people. But to do that, Lelawala would have to go to his home under the great falls, and never return."
