Flying

Everywhere we went — whether it was a suburban neighborhood, a fancy yacht club, or the grassy banks of the river — we brought two flags with us. The top flag represents the Haudenosaunee, the native people in my area. The bottom flag represents, of course, the Two Row Wampum belt. Many of us put Two Row Wampum bumperstickers on our canoes and kayaks (I’ve actually never seen so many boats with bumperstickers before), and wore purple shirts or bandanas in solidarity.
