AprašymasWabanaki Wampum Alliance Belt.png
English: The Wabanaki Confederacy did not seem to have a flag, but they did have traditional Wampum belts that played a similar role, only with more importance. This Wabanaki "Alliance Belt" design was displayed in the 1915 edition of American Anthropologist by Frank Speck who discussed that the side markings represent wigwams of the Miꞌkmaq, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy, Abenaki, and Penobscot. In the middle is a peace pipe, representing the unification and alliance of the tribes of Wabanaki. The belts were held by messengers who would travel to villages to let them know the outcomes of conferences of Wabanaki leadership, different belts indicated what the news was. War, peace, and so on. This design is for the people going to the conference, and with it they would be guaranteed attention when they spoke while holding it.
The original was said to be about 15 inches long. It was 71 by 5 beads long with each bead being 1 by 2 large. Thus the actual size would be better listed as 71 by 10. This image is a proper scaled digital version of the 1915 alliance belt.
The copyright situation of this work is theoretically uncertain, because in the country of origin copyright lasts 70 years after the death of the author, and the date of the author's death is unknown. However, the date of creation of the work was over 120 years ago, and it is thus a reasonable assumption that the copyright has expired (see here for the community discussion). Do not use this template if the date of death of the author is known.
You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
