I'm all out of wampum. These dark purple shells will make the wampum necklace more valuable.
You mean wampum belts, not wampum which simply refers to the shell beads from which belts were made (the Wampanoag word Wampumpeag = small white shell beads).Wampum belts were not produced until after contact with Europeans, so it is likely that they were influenced by European writing and documents; since they natives could not write they recorded important events such as treaties or agreements in pictorial (pictographic) form on wampum belts.The link below takes you to an image of Tsawanhohi holding a wampum belt, 1825:

I have a wampum card from the Mohegan Sun Casino.
They passed wampum when it was their turn to talk
1. Connect your ID to facebook for 5 wampum. 2. Invite your friend from facebok for wampum. 3. Buy it.
Wampum was money to the Native American culture...their medium of exchange.

That's going to cost us some serious wampum, dear.
