Well, I think there's a bunch of possible answers here.
The short answer is "Hiawatha" because he was the hero of the poem "The Song of Hiawatha" published by poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in like 1855 or 1856.
A better answer would be "Nokomis" who was Hiawatha's mother.
After all, the poem DOES have the lines:
By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,
And a lot of the poem is about Hiawatha's travels and adventure's away from home.
Another answer would be "The Ojibway" as that's the tribe that Longfellow's poem is about. The real Hiawatha, who has not so much to do with the person in the poem, was actually a Mohawk or Onondaga.
Hope that helps!
