Sosondowah

Sosondowah: The Iroquois godFact|date=July 2008 Sosondowah was a great hunter known for stalking a supernatural elk, who was captured by Dawn, a goddess who needed him as a watchman. Sosondowah fell in love with Gendenwitha ("she who brings the day"; alt: Gendewitha), a human woman. He tried to woo her by singing to her in spring as a bluebird, in summer as a blackbird and in autumn as a hawk, who then tried to take Gendenwitha with him to the sky. Dawn tied him to her doorpost and then changed Gendenwitha into the Morning Star, so he could watch her all night but never be with her.
