Penobscot Belt
Category: 0   Price: $250.00 CAD


The Penobscot Belt, or Onondaga Belt as it is also known, is a friendship belt. This belt was made to signify an invitation sent from the capital of the Iroquois Confederacy, Onondaga, to the Penobscot Nation, to attend a Condolence Council at Onondaga. According to the Great Law; if any man or nation outside of the Five Nations shall obey the laws of the Great Peace (Kaianerekowa), and shall make this known to the statesmen of the league, they may follow the Great white roots back to the Tree of Peace. If their minds are clean and if they promise to abide by the laws they are welcome to take shelter beneath the "Tree of the Long Leaves" (The Great Tree of Peace).
