Usually dated to 1613, The Two Row Wampum belt (pictured on the button) is the first recorded agreement between Europeans and the Indigenous Haudenosaunee People of Turtle Island.
The agreement outlines a mutual, three-part commitment to friendship, peace between peoples, and living in parallel forever (as long as the grass is green, as long as the rivers flow downhill and as long as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west). Throughout the years, the Haudenosaunee have sought to honor this mutual vision and have increasingly emphasized that ecological stewardship is a fundamental prerequisite for this continuing friendship.
