"Tribe symbols", like "tribe colours" are mostly a modern idea with no basis in historic fact. Tribes may have favoured certain colours and shapes that were often used in quillwork or beadwork designs, but these can not be looked on as always representing a particular tribe.
Among the Huron, beadwork patterns included circles, disks within curved shapes, floral designs and spirals - but many similar patterns were also used by the Seneca and other Iroquois tribes. They liked bead or quill work on a black background, but this was also found among many other tribal groups.

∙ 11y agoThere is no such thing as a Huron totem pole. Totem poles were confined to the tribes of the far north-west coast, particularly in the area of Vancouver.
The Huron and many other woodlands tribes erected other types of poles for many reasons - but none are totem poles. They served as burial ground markers, war posts, territorial boundaries and so on.
