No, the "wampum" is completely mythical. Or is it... (it isn't)
The Cree people traditionally did not use wampum belts, as these were primarily associated with the Iroquois and other Eastern Woodlands tribes. Wampum belts, made from shell beads, were used by these tribes for diplomacy, record-keeping, and storytelling. The Cree, who are mainly located in the northern regions of Canada, had their own distinct cultural practices and forms of communication. Instead of wampum, they utilized other materials and methods to convey messages and maintain their traditions.
