 I have seen that Haudenosaunee has their own flag, but what does it mean? The flag represent the original five nations that were united by Peacemaker. The tree in the middle represent a white pine, where the needles are gathered in groups of five. The flag is based upon Hiawatha Wampum Belt; a symbol of the former enemies buried their weapons underneath "The Great Tree of Peace" and became one nation.
