WAMPUM - Dust Fan Belt

This belt symbolizes the Tree of Peace and is used to explain the Great Law. The Great Law includes the roles and responsibilities of the chiefs, clan mothers, faithkeepers, and the people. The tree on the belt is everlasting as it continues beyond the end of the belt foretelling the strength and longevity of the union.

The belt also has other significance. This belt is used to symbolize the chiefs need for "clear" vision. The dust or issues that sometimes may cloud the vision of the chiefs. This belt wipes the dust from their eyes to see clearly.
