Answer 2

The flag is based on the Hiawatha Belt, a wampum belt that records the founding of the Haudenosaunee confederacy. The background is purple and there are four white squares with a stylized white tree in the center of them. The tree and squares are connected by a white line that symbolizes the path of peace. The tree stands for the Onondaga nation, where the Tree of Peace was planted and where the central fire of the Haudenosaunee resides. The four squares are the other founding members of the confederacy. The belt can be read from east to west, according to the territories of each nation: Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca. The white line extends off the edge of the belt on both sides to symbolize that other nations may join, thus the belt also includes the sixth nation to join the confederacy, the Tuscarora nation, even though there is not a separate symbol on the belt for them. Some reproductions of the belt and/or flag do not have the white line extending off the edges, which is an error on their part.
