• The Hiawatha Flag is based off of the Hiawatha belt and features the design of the 5 Nations of the Hodinöhsö:ni’ (Iroquois Confederacy). The symbols represent the 5 Nations; Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida and Mohawk. Tuscarora later joined.
  • This Seneca Nation of Indians Flag has the seal of the Seneca Nation which includes the 8 clans of the Seneca. The three shapes in the middle represent each of the three Seneca Nation territories Cattaraugus, Oil Springs and Allegany. In the Hodinöhsö:ni’ (Iroquois) Confederacy, the Seneca were named as the Keeper of the Western Door. This was due to their westward position of settlements.
