Symbolism
Flag
The wampum belt with the hatchet is the symbol of the alliance between the Huron-Wendat Nation and the British Crown; it represents the hatchet given by King George III in the 1760s. The other belt recalls the two-row wampums of Haudenosaunee origin that emphasized the peaceful coexistence of two nations walking in the same direction without interfering with each other.
