Description (Ken Marcle):
This belt announced the return of the nomadic Tuscaroras. It was made in 1714. The Six Nations are represented by purple colored, step-like, triangle designs. For the first time it gives official recognition to the white man in Indian affairs; the symbol of the invader being indicated in the lower corners.
