Two Row Wampum Treaty Belt
Category: 2 Price: $500.00 CAD
The Two Row Wampum Treaty Belt
symbolizes the relationship of the native people of North America, Onkwehónwe (Mohawk), Ogwehoweh, (Cayuga) with the White man, Raserónni, (Mohawk), Hahnyo:oh, (Cayuga).
One purple row of beads represents the path of the natives canoe which contains their customs and laws. The other row represents the path of the White mans vessel, the sailing ship, which contains his customs and laws.
The meaning of the parallel paths is that neither boat should outpace the other, and the paths should remain separate and parallel forever, that is, as long as the grass grows, the rivers flow, the sun shines, and will be everlasting, and they shall always renew their treaties.
