Creation of the Hiawatha Wampum Belt
Wampum are polished white and purple shells strung together to represent a ceremonial pledge or treaty among the Native Americans of the northeastern areas of America. In later years [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it began to be traded by Americans and gained the connotation of money.
Hiawatha, who followed the Great Peacemaker’s vision, represented his will in teaching and uniting the warring tribes under what was to become the Iroquois League.
The Iroquois League, which continues to this day, influenced the development of the American Constitution.
A prophet and visionary, known as the Great Peacemaker, promoted peace and a higher way of life for the Iroquois nations. It was a remarkable code of behavior and unifying law at the time for the people of the Iroquois nations.
The Iroquois, or Haudenosaunee [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which means the "People of the Longhouse," are a group of six tribes bound together by treaty and by similar languages and culture in the upper New York State area, west of the Hudson River. Archaeological evidence shows that the ancestors of the Iroquois lived in the Finger Lakes region from about 1000 C.E. Today, they live mostly in New York and Canada.
Sometime between the 12th and 15th centuries, according to various scholarly opinions, the original confederacy was actually formed, then known as the League of Five Nations, later to be joined by a sixth. Prior to European contact the Iroquois were an imperialist, expansionist culture, who used the Three Sisters (corn/beans/squash) agricultural system to sustain a large population.

Hiawatha
While Hiawatha was the name of many leaders of the Iroquois, some of them of mythic quality [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it was also the name given to the heroic character of poetry.
There is a legend that at the end of his mission, Hiawatha left in a white canoe which ascended with him into the air and disappeared out of the people’s sight. (Repeated at the end of Longfellow’s poem)
Formation of the Iroquois Confederacy
The Mythical Ode to Hiawatha
At first five nations with similar languages were gathered together who accepted the Great Peacemaker’s vision became the Five Nations under the Iroquois League. These people were the Senecas, Cayugas, Onondagas, Oneidas, and the Mohawks. The Tuscarora nation joined the Confederacy at later time to make the Confederacy of Six Nations.
In the mid-19th century, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote The Song of Hiawatha, which was loosely based on stories of the Ojibwe (not Iroquois) and other Native Americans in the Euro-American romantic style and sentiment. In the end of the ode, Hiawatha advises the Native Americans to receive the palefac
Hiawatha, thought to have lived around 1450 and possibly from the Onondaga Nation, may have been a real or mythical leader who brought the people together under a confederacy. He is also said to have taught principles of civilization to the people including aspects of medicine, navigation and agriculture.
The Five Nations are represented in the belt from west to east across New York state by their territory: Seneca (People of the Great Hill), Cayuga (People of the Swamp), Onondaga (Keepers of the Fire), Oneida (People of the Standing Stone), and Mohawk (People of the Flint).
The wampum belt of Hiawatha was created in the 18th century to represent the confederacy agreement. The white tree in the center of the design signifies the Onondaga Nation, which was the home to the central council fire of the confederacy. The tree of unity and peace was “planted” in the Onondaga Lake region and the hatchets of warfare were buried.
