Correction Notice – SteelDrum
Oct 2025
In the latest issue of the SteelDrum (page 20), we incorrectly identified the wampum belt replica held by Andrea Johns as the Hiawatha Belt. The belt she is holding is in fact the Two Row Wampum Belt (Guswenta).
For reference:
- The Two Row Wampum Belt (Guswenta) is described here: Onondaga Nation – Two Row Wampum Belt.
- The Hiawatha Belt, which was mistakenly cited, actually appears on the cover of Steel Drum: Onondaga Nation – Hiawatha Belt.
We would like to thank members who brought this error to our attention. We will also arrange for a correction to be noted on our website and in the next issue of the SteelDrum.
