Black Hawk or Sauk Belt; As European settlements moved westward, so too the Indian nations drew together to avoid conflict between themselves and to seek strength in unity. It is believed that the Saux gave this belt to the Six Nations Confederacy after they assisted the Six Nations to defend their territory against European encroachment. After the war, the Sauk commemorated their participatation by leaving a Wampum Belt which would reflect their alliance to the Six Nations.
