Jennifer Wemigwans is the president of Inferred Media and has created excellent
content like fourdirectionsteachings.com which introduces you to the worldviews of
several different first nations through their creation stories, indigenous
ceremonies and knowledge. And she had special access to elders to
share this information and make it available online for anyone to learn from
First Nations directly. She's also developed an excellent resource
on treaties and Wampam for Parks Candida's website and has given us permission to
reproduce it for this course. So please link to it now and take a look
at all the different images that explain the development of wampum.
What particular wampum belts mean and the responsibilities for each party that
entered into a relationship marked by the wampum.
And so it has implications for the relationship between indigenous peoples
and non-indigenous newcomers to this land. So do make sure that you click on all the
different images to get an understanding of each different, wampum agreement and
what it means for the relationship between the peoples today.
