   Diamonds are the sacred symbol for medicine. The Mohegan Tribe operates the Tantaquidgeon Museum and a stone diamond appears on its chimney. Eighteenth century Mohegan Medicine Woman Lucy Occum carried the symbol of the diamond in the mark she used to sign her name...

    In Mohegan tradition, the diamond is a symbol of healing and protection and can be found on baskets, rattles, in beadwork and even on the Tantaquidgeon Museum. 

   According to the late Mohegan Medicine Woman Gladys Tantaquidgeon: 

“To the Mohegan, designs and life are more than mere representations of nature. There is a spiritual force that flows through all things, and if these symbols are true representations of that force, this spirit should be expressed in the designs."

   "Did you know Mohegan have told their stories on baskets including their migration away from and back to their reservation? Some designs reflect old maps of their territories, like Shantok, which was once laid out in a diamond shape. These ancient designs constitute a written language, which is still understood today.” https://www.facebook.com/themohegantribe/
