IOSKEHA One of the two grandsons of the moon, in Huron mythology, Ioskewa fought against his brother Tawiscara for supremacy. Ioskewa had the horns of a stag as a weapon, while his brother could only seize a wild rose. Thus Tawiscara was defeated, and Ioskewa became the guardian deity of the Hurons, Mohawks and Tuscaroras.
