A 'hatchet' is a disagreement. So, you bury it so that it doesn't emerge again. It does sometimes give the impression that the parties are not entirely happy but mutually forget this particular problem. Example: 'The sisters fell out over their mother's will but agreed to bury the hatchet after consulting legal advice'.
It's an anlgo-american slag term for making peace. This stems from the fact that when American Indian tribes came to peace, they would literally "bury the hatchet" to signify the event.
It means to drop all animosity, disagreement, even perhaps hate concerning another individual for some past aggravation and adopt a normal relationship.
