Wampum Jewelry and Beadwork

Wampum Jewelry and Beadwork
by Andrew Hunter The Story of Wampum

Wampum is made from the Quohog clam shell. It was used by East Coast Native Americans for ceremonies, adornment and as a medium of exchange. The deep purple section of the shell is know as "Sacki" and has double the value of the "Wompi" (the white section).           

Wampum became known as the Native's badge of wealth and position. It is most noted for its role in the historic "Treaty Belts" of the Iroquois which tell of tribal history and agreements with the United States. If one carried wampum, it was believed to be one's passport to the Spirit World.     

Meherrin jewelry maker, Andrew Hunter, by adapting the techniques of turquoise jewelry to wampum, has revitalized a precious element of eastern Woodland culture. The Meherrin still reside in North Carolina, near the route of the historic Great Trading Path.

"Sentinel"
Original oil 22" x 28" by Gordon Miller © 1987

The national bird of the United States, the Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is only abundant on the Alaskan and British Columbia coasts. Our largest eagle, with wing spans up to eight feet, it is not as fierce as its appearance suggests. It feeds primarily on dead or dying fish, shell-fish and carcasses of dead animals. Eagles mate for life, and build large nests of sticks in high tree tops which they occupy and add to for years. Over time these nests can grow to weigh over a ton and be ten feet across.

The Haida, to regulate intermarriage and the succession of rights and property, divided their people into two separate lineages: the Ravens and the Eagles. Through these lineages and the stories they owned a link was preserved to the mythological time of their origins. A village usually included members of both Eagle and Raven moieties, but the village chief was always from the dominant or founding lineage.

The painting shows the western third of Skidegate in the 1870s, when it was occupied by all of the Haida who had abandoned their villages in the southern Queen Charlotte Islands. Originally a Raven town, the village was given to the Eagles of Skidegate as payment for an injury. Skidegate was the chief of the village at the time of European contact and the name has been applied to the site ever since.
