Belt of the Six Nations

Reprinted from Wampum Belts of the Iroquois by Tehanetorens

This belt announced the return of the nomadic Tuscaroras, and it was made in 1714. The Six Nations are represented by purple-colored, step-like triangle designs. For the first time it gives official recognition to the white man in Indian affairs, the symbol of the invader being indicated in the lower corner.
