  11. Hiawatha’s Belt • The wampum belt on the flag is the national belt of the Haudenosaunee. It records the five original nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and their agreement to live together in peace. The symbols on the belt symbolize the Haudenosaunee nations.

  12. The central symbol is a tree and represents the Onondaga Nation. It was in the Onondaga Nation that the Peacemaker planted the Tree of Peace and it was under that tree where the leaders of the Five Nations buried their weapons of war. The Hiawatha belt does not include the Tuscarora nation that joined the Iroquois league in 1722. Although Hiawatha’s belt dates back to circa 1100-1400, incorporating it into an official flag only dates back to the 1980s. Haudenosauneeflag
