Nomination Belt
Category: 2 Price: $250.00 USD
The Womens Nomination Belt records the rights of nomination given to the Clan Mothers of the Five Nations of the Rotinonhshonni.
The origin of the rights, these women leaders have, begins in their founding mother, Tsikonsase, who is also known as the Mother of Nations, because it is said that her blood line originates from the first woman on earth.
As mothers of all nations on Mother Earth, certain Clan Mothers of each clan are given the responsibility of maintaining the harmony and balance within the clans and nations, by being the guardian over the names to prevent duplication of names, and to prevent competition over the rights of leadership positions.
In her responsibility of choosing (nominating) a chief, a Clan Mother calls a meeting with her immediate extended family, meeting mainly with the female relatives, but she may also choose to combine the men relations as well. At the meeting, she will inform her extended family who she's chosen to be chief, and then seeks approval of all the mothers of her extended family. Upon approval, the clan mother stands the chief up for all to see. The clan mother stands along side with her chief, sub-chief, and one woman and man faithkeeper.
