Summary

Front side of an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Peace_Medal" class="extiw" title="w:Indian Peace Medal">Indian Peace Medal</a> given by President <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington" class="extiw" title="w:George Washington">George Washington</a> in 1792. The Smithsonian curators believe this medal was awarded on March 13, 1792, at a conference in Philadelphia between an Indian delegation (the Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Tuscarora, and Stockbridge tribes), and President Washington, the secretary of war, the governor of Pennsylvania, and others. The scene portrays each side holding a peace pipe and discarding their weapons, with a plow (symbol of agrarianism) in the background.<a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.nmai.si.edu/education/files/PreVisitTG_Fina2.pdf">[1]</a>
