Belt of the Unity of the Clans
Category: 2   Price: $190.00 USD


The Belt of the Unity of the Clans was one of the Constitutional memorials and signified the essential unity of the clans "who sat opposite each other about the fire." The white background signifies peace, unity, and friendship. In the Confederate Iroquois Nation, the people bearing the same name, the same clan, shall recognize one another as relatives in respect of their nation and shall treat one another as such. Therefore a man and woman of the same clan are forbidden to marry.
