hey guys, here to kill the fun with a killjoy comment. You're welcome.
Just a note on on the use of the word "wampum" - I have recently learned (via a course in indigenous studies in north america, in particular on the Haudenosaunee) that the way we use "wampum" is actually racist. Wampum beads/shells were the indigenous forms of money (not really money as we understand it, to be honest, it had a more powerful significance in their culture) and many treaties were made using belts of wampum beads, that had spiritual significance for their communities.
here's a link from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy explaining the real meaning: www.haudenosauneeconfederacy.com/wampum.html
I'm 99.99% sure the shite sold by MLMs doesn't deserve to be called wampum. It's shite. Not wampum.
Carry on, thanks for reading.
I don't know who used the word originally but it's possible he/she/whoever didn't know the history.
