" The crowned heart brooches, double and single, were simi larly grouped as o-go -ji-a, meaning "ornamental head-dress or crown;" while the single heart-form was known as a-we -ya- sa or "heart. " The double-square type he named de-yo-a n -wa-gis -ho n, translated as " double brooch;" the single-square form being jo-a n -wa-das -ho 11 (de-yo-a n -wa-das- ho n ?) or "single brooch. " When shown a Masonic brooch of pure type, the chief told me he knew no name for that variety; but the more common... conventionalized Masonic design (the kind shown in Plate xxm, Fig. 15) he readily recognized under the name ga-ya"-sa a, "cross" or "crucifix, " so called, he said, on account of the fact that it usually bears from two to five engraved conventional crosses. This type originated with Christian Indians, he informed me.
The only trace of true symbolism was found when the chief was ques tioned concerning the heart-type of brooches. He stated that the inter twined hearts surmounted by a crown represent the Iroquois nations united in friendship, and that these brooches were formerly considered a sort of badge or emblem identifying the wearer, man or woman, as an Iroquois.
