Why is the Hiawatha belt is important to Hiawatha?
I don't think Hiawatha ever saw the Hiawatha belt. It is named after him though as he is credited with being the founder (or one of the founders) of the Iroquois Confederacy (also known as the Haudenosaunee Confederacy or the Great League of Peace). The belt depicts the five nations of the Confederacy, linked by a white line symbolizing the Great League.

The historical figure, a co-founder of the Iroquois Confederacy, Hiawatha was most likely born between 1350 and 1451 AD, but the exact dates are unknown.

How did Hiawatha get the Onondaga tribe to join the great Iroquois Confederacy?
A visionary Huron named Deganawida appeared in Iroquois territory with a message of peace--thirteen laws that promoted peace without violence. An Onondaga man named Hiawatha became a strong supporter of the "Peace Maker."Hiawatha, a great orator, traveled to the other nations and submitted the plan for their consent. A Mohawk woman was the first person to approve the plan. Her actions symbolized the importance of women to the Iroquois political process. The Iroquois chiefs subsequently approved the plan.Only the Onondaga chief Thadodaho stood in opposition. Hiawatha explained his vision and finally won Thadodaho's approval--with one concession. Thadodaho said he would join only if he would be considered "first among equals." To show respect for the reluctant chief, meetings of the Iroquois Confederacy were always held in the principal Onondaga village, and the Onondaga chief served as the Council Leader.
