The Haudenosaunee Confederacy used wampum belts as a means of recording and conveying important treaties and agreements.
Early European settlers in North America often traded with Native American tribes using wampum beads as a form of currency.
The word wampum is derived from the Algonquian language and refers to both the beads themselves and the traditional practice of using them in trade and diplomacy.
