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.
