Tuscarora Taken in Belt
Category: 2   Price: $400.00 CAD


This belt has been called the Six Nations Brace Belt and records when the Tuscarora Nation was taken into the Iroquois Confederacy. Each diagonal band represents a state or nation of the Confederacy, a brace or supporting beam of the Longhouse, by which the Iroquois often called their league. The braces represent an alliance for purpose of peace. This belt commemorates the admission of the Tuscaroras to take shelter beneath the Tree of Peace and join the Iroquois Confederacy.
