貝殼串珠

19世紀的貝殼串珠
2009年製作的貝殼串珠

貝殼串珠(Wampum)是北美洲东部林地印第安人所使用的一種類似貨幣的物件。“Wampum”一詞本意就是“白色貝殼珠子”,由沟螺殼軸製成[1]。而類似的“Sewant”、“Zeewant”或“suckauhock”則是由蚌蠣或其他牡蠣的殼製成的[2]

歷史

“Wampum”一詞為“wampumpeag”的縮寫,源自馬薩諸塞語纳拉干西特語,意思是“白色貝殼珠子”[3]。16世紀初,殖民者在今紐約州附近的地區發現了這種東西[1]。傳説中,易洛魁联盟的创建者海華沙是貝殼串珠的創造者,起初是用它來記錄信息[4]

歐洲人抵達北美後開始大規模製造貝殼串珠,結果導致通貨膨脹。[5]
