The maple tree was of particular importance to the Algonquian tribes of the northwestern United States and western Canada, who developed the art of processing maple sap into maple sugar. Maple sap was often considered a gift from the Creator and thus the maple leaf symbol was an important design motif in Algonquian beadwork. It was the Navajo tribe who discovered the healing properties of the maple bark, and some say when newly born babies were passed through the bright autumn colours of the leaves, they would enjoy a long and healthy life. 

In the language of the botanical world, it is known to be symbolic of reserve, conjugal love, earthly happiness and retirement.
