The Hiawatha Belt is a wampum belt that symbolizes the formation of the Iroquois Confederacy, also known as the Haudenosaunee. It features a series of white and purple beads that represent the unity of the five original nations: the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca. The design conveys the message of peace and the importance of collective strength in governance and decision-making among the tribes. It serves as a visual representation of their commitment to unity and mutual support.
In Longfellow's poetry, Hiawatha is married to a Dakota named Minnehaha.

I would say an Army belt buckle would be worth from $60 to $100. The prices can vary by condition and manufacturer's mark and type. Go to ebay.com and watch what the final prices are on some of these---if they still allow the sale of them.
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 Hiawatha Belt is a significant symbol of the Iroquois Confederacy, representing unity and peace among the five original nations: the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca. It features a series of wampum beads arranged in a design that signifies the Great Law of Peace, which was established by the Peacemaker and Hiawatha. This belt serves as a visual reminder of the Iroquois' commitment to cooperation, collective governance, and the importance of maintaining harmony among the member nations.
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. A belt made to commemorate the unified Five Nations dates from the 1700s, after the arrival of Europeans in North America. *The literary Hiawatha is a female fictional character, the daughter of the chief Nokomis in a Longfellow poem "The Song of Hiawatha" (1855).
Hiawatha's life is shrouded in mystery; most of what is known about him is from legands. It's unlikely that there are any records of his birthday. In fact, the closest anyone can say is that he lived in the 1500s.
