How is the Hiawatha Belt connected with
the phrase “bury the hatchet”?
The Hiawatha Belt was named
for Hiawatha, a precolonial Native
American leader who persuaded
the Senecas, Cayugas, Onondagas,
Oneidas, and Mohawks to make
peace and become the Five Nations
of the Iroquois Confederacy. When
the Confederacy
was formed,
each nation had
its own coun
cil to govern
its people, but
under one com
mon law, one
heart, and one
mind.
The Hiawatha belt consists of
five symbols joined together. The
first represents the Mohawk, the
Eastern Doorkeeper. The next indi
cates the Oneida, the People of the
Standing Stone. The third, which
identifies the Onondaga tribe, is
the tree, and legend records that
the Tree of Peace was uprooted and
the leaders buried their weapons of
hate, jealousy, and war beneath it
as a symbol of a truce. The fourth
represents the Cayuga, the People
of the Swamp. The fifth belongs to
the Seneca, the People of the Great
Hill, the Western Doorkeeper.
When there is a Grand Council
of the Haudenosaunee (the Iro
quois), the Hiawatha Belt is present
to remind the leaders to maintain
the peace and to
make decisions
not only for to
day, but for fu
ture Haudeno
saunee citizens
yet unborn.
The Belt is
extremely old.
It records when
these five warring nations bur
ied their weapons of war to live in
peace. Today, the Hiawatha Belt has
been fashioned into a flag that has
been flown in many places around
the world. Because of Henry Wad
sworth Longfellow’s famous 1855
poem “The Song of Hiawatha,” by
the end of the nineteenth century
“burying the hatchet” was a cliche
for peacemaking on both sides of
the Atlantic.

Ransomware attacks
have become a growing
problem for both govern
ment and private sector
computer systems. In ran
somware attacks, hackers
block access to an orga

threaten to keep them
blocked and/or publish
sensitive private informa

paid.
In one example, a ran

affected nearly 3,800 city
