Reception

Name

Stone Canoe derives its name from a traditional Native American story from Upstate New York that dates back some 2000 years. The story itself concerns the arrival of the Great Peacemaker to the region. According to Iroquois tradition, the Great Peacemaker was the founder of the Haudenosaunee, commonly called the Iroquois Confederacy. As the legend goes, the Peacemaker came to the area by crossing Lake Ontario on a white stone canoe.[5]
