The Onkwehónwe reminded his brother that the Creator did not give him a way to write; but he was given the wampum to symbolize and record this treaty. The Onkwehónwe called this : the treaty belt. The white wampum background meaning, purity, good minds, and peace; and the two purple wampum rows meaning, the two parallel paths signifying the Whiteman's belief and laws; and that they shall never interfere with one another's way as long as Mother Earth is still in motion. The Onkwehónwe gave the whiteman an understanding that this agreement shall last as long as the sun shines, the rivers flow, and the grass grows green at a certain time of the year. This agreement will exist for generations to come and everyone shall remember and never forget the way it shall be. From time to time, the Onkwehónwe will read the two row wampum belt to his people so that generations to come will never forget. This recital was held in Washington in 1952.
