The Iroquois (whose true name is Haudenosaunee Nation) call the Eastern White Pine the ‘Tree of Peace.’ The origins of its legend lie within that of a man they called Dekanawidah, the peace-giver, who helped create the Five Nations Confederacy (Kayanerenh-kowa, or ‘Great Peace’) between the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga and Seneca tribes.
