WAMPUM - Alliance Belt

This belt uses the symbolism commonly used in Haudenosaunee belt making. Nations are usually symbolized with squares. Here in this belt, there are two squares at the end of the belt representing two nations. A vertical line running the length of the belt represents an agreement of peace.

This wampum belt was often used when an ally was formed. The Haudenosaunee saw that each nation had its own customs and governance but they were tied by this testament of peace, friendship, and forever between the two nations.
