Dish with One Spoon

"The Hiawatha Wampum Belt, or Dish with One Spoon, a pre-contact treaty between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe, refers to the sharing of the land surrounding Lake Ontario and the eastern shores of the St. Lawrence River (one bowl) with only taking what you need and leaving enough for others (one spoon)." From AFN, "Treaties and Why They are Important."
