Yes, Male.
Hiawatha was the subject in an 1855 Longfellow poem;
By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,
Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.
Dark behind it rose the forest,
Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees,
Rose the firs with cones upon them;
Bright before it beat the water,
Beat the clear and sunny water,
Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water.

The real Hiawatha was a Mohawk Indian chief, and renown peacemaker who lived in the late 1500s. He was named Haudenosaunee and when he met Deganawidah who is Huron, he was renamed from Haudensaunee to Hiawatha. Sometimes it's said that Deganawiday was the true Peacemaker... and it was his mystic dream that inspired him for a great peace between the native nations of the area... but because he stuttered, Haudenosaunee who was his friend, was employed to speak for him... to Tadadaho, an Onondaga Chief. This man seems to be made the villain in history, stubborn, he may well have been a War Chief, and thus not too inclined to peace. Maybe he was vengeful? But some how, they did eventually persuade this chief to more peaceful ways.
Hiawatha was a founder of the Iroquois Confederacy made up of the Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, and Seneca. Tradition credits him with introducing maize and fish oil to his people and with originating picture writing, new navigation techniques, and the practice of medicine.

Hiawatha was a legendary American Indian boy learning to be a man. He was a symbol of the rites of passage to manhood, whether real or not.

Hiawatha, of the famous poem, was male.
Whether he was a man depends on how he behaved after he grew up.
