Photo by @kiliiiyuyan / The Hiawatha Belt is one of the most important symbols of democracy in the world. It represents the union of Native Nations of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy. The confederacy is believed to be the longest-living democracy in the world. A powerful influence on the United States' Founding Fathers, it is responsible for many of the ideas that American democracy is founded on. John and David Fadden, Mohawk tribal members, run the Six Nations Indian Museum in New York State, keeping a living history of Haudenosaunee culture, including replica wampum treaty belts like the Hiawatha Belt.

We owe a debt of gratitude to the Haudenosaunee and other Indigenous peoples for the gift of individual liberty. During Native American Heritage Month, we can pay our respects by becoming more aware of the modern Indigenous peoples in a simple way: by getting to know someone Native in our own community.
