This comes from the American
custom of
burying hawks and other
weapons as a
sign that hostilities between the American Indians and the White had ended. Nowadays, this idiom is used to refer to coming to
peaceful terms with an
opponent.
Custom = costumbre
To bury = enterrar
Hawk = hacha
Weapons = armas
Sign = símbolo, señal
To come to peaceful terms = hacer las paces
Opponent = enemigo, contrario
