In all cultures, Pine Trees represent wisdom, longevity, fertility, and peace as well as being associated with immortality, steadiness, and resilience, due to their successful adaptation to diverse often harsh environments and their hardiness with being evergreen in nature. The Iroquois people were American Indians in the Northeast region of the United States. To them, the white pine is a symbol of the Great Peace that united their separate nations into an enduring League. Pine trees are found all over the world and they are always associated with an important spiritual symbol.
