Put your paws up 🐾 because I’m still not over last night’s Mayhem Ball! From the opening spell to the final bow, it was nothing but beautiful nightmare of vocal realness. My heart is still racing from all the dancing… someone tell @ladygaga thank you! 🖤✨

The Hiawatha Belt Design
These designs feature the Hiawatha Wampum Belt - commonly referred to as “the Nation Belt” or “the
Confederacy Belt”. It is a visual record of the creation of the League of the Haudenosaunee (also known as the Six Nations or Iroquois).
At the center of the Hiawatha Belt is the Confederacy’s symbol, the “Great White Pine,” also known as the “Tree of Peace.” The center figure also represents the Onondaga Nation where the central council fires reside and where all issues involving the entire Confederacy are debated and decided there. The other Haudenosaunee Nations are visualized as squares: on the outer edges are the Mohawks, guardians of the Eastern Door; and the Seneca, Keepers of the Western Door. The Oneida and Cayuga are depicted in the two inner squares; the Tuscarora, the sixth nation in the Confederacy, joined after this Wampum was created.
The Hiawatha Wampum Belt also encapsulates the origins of the Haudenosaunee’s guiding principles, to use your mind instead of violence to settle problems, which were first described to them by the Peacemaker. It is a Symbol of peace.
Also featured are Mohawk beadwork design embellishments.
