Akwesasne Wolf Belt
Category: 2 Price: $450.00 USD
This belt is an Akwesasne or St. Regis Belt and once belonged to Chief Running Deer of the Akwesasne Mohawks. The centre figures, two men, represent the French and the Praying Indians, (Kahnawake, St. Regis., Oka, and their allies) clasping their hands in friendship. The seven purple lines signify what is called the seven nations. The seven nations, organized and encouraged by French Catholic Priests was a political union of parts of certain settlements of Iroquois and Algonquins whom the Catholic Missionaries had christianized and influenced.
