what is called wampum



answer --- Wampum is a traditional shell bead of the Eastern Woodlands tribes of Native Americans. It includes white shell beads hand fashioned from the North Atlantic channeled whelk shell and white and purple beads made from the quahog or Western North Atlantic hard-shelled clam. Before European contact, strings of wampum were used for storytelling, ceremonial gifts, and recording important treaties and historical events, such as the Two Row Wampum Treaty [1][2] or The Hiawatha Belt. Wampum was also used by the northeastern Indian tribes as a means of exchange,[3] strung together in lengths for convenience​
