Wampum

Wampum

Wampum (massachusett and Narragansett wampumpe, wanpanpi, plural: wampumpeag, wanpanpiak "white chain", of wa (m) p "white" and ompe "chain") is in the eastern Algonquin languages ​​the name for pearls of sea snails and mussels, As they were generally used by the Indians east of the Rocky Mountains up to Saskatchewan as a means of barter and thus also to the tribes west of the Rocky Mountains. Here, however, they were used only as jewelery. However, in the East as well, they retained, in addition to the money-like character, qualities of individual value or even saint. Thus submitting a wampum underwent promises, contracts, or seizures. The Wampum colors varied from white to purple-brown to brown-black. The white specimens were mostly made from the 12 to 15 cm long snail shell Venus buccinum, the darker ones from the Venus mercenaria. They were placed on animal tracks or strings, which were then wrapped in a hand-braided braid, the so-called Wampum belt. Wampum (Massachusett und Narragansett wampumpe, wanpanpi, Mehrzahl: wampumpeag, wanpanpiak „Weiße Kette“, von wa(m)p „weiß“ und ompe „Kette“) ist in den östlichen Algonkin-Sprachen die Bezeichnung für Perlen aus Meeresschnecken und Muscheln, wie sie von den Indianern östlich der Rocky Mountains bis hinauf nach Saskatchewan allgemein als Tauschmittel benutzt wurden und so auch zu den Stämmen westlich der Rocky Mountains gelangten. Hier dienten sie allerdings nur als Schmuckgegenstand. Doch auch im Osten behielten sie neben dem geldartigen Charakter immer Eigenschaften des individuell Wertvollen oder sogar Heiligen. So unterstrich die Überreichung eines Wampums Versprechen, Verträge oder Eheschließungen. Die Wampum-Farben variierten von weiß über purpurfarben bis braunschwarz. Die weißen Exemplare wurden meist aus der 12 bis 15 cm langen Schneckenmuschel Venus buccinum angefertigt, die dunkleren aus dem Gehäuse der Venus mercenaria. Man reihte sie auf Tiersehnen oder Schnüren auf, die dann in ein handbreites Geflecht, den so genannten Wampumgürtel, geschlungen wurden.
