Description: The symbol from a traditional collar cape is from the 1927 book by Frank Speck "Symbols In Penobscot art." It was a symbol worn by leading Chiefs when the tribes of the Wabanaki came and assembled together for a ceremony. This would also be accompanied by talks of political, economic, and social matters. The double loop is still used to this day in the Wabanaki community.
