Burying the hatchet is an act of peace – an agreement to forget past conflict and a promise to create a friendship. This strange phrase originates from a Native American ceremony, when rival tribes would declare peace.
As a gesture of goodwill and symbol of their alliance, each tribe’s chief would bury a war hatchet into the ground. The earliest recording of Europeans becoming aware of this tradition was in 1644, and from then the phrase evolved into mainstream vernacular.
