I was at Fort Frederick last weekend and there was a man selling wampum belts. I liked his work and since he used glass beads, they were not all that expensive. When I saw this one, I had to have it.

Back in 2002 I was at the Mohican Gathering in Asheville, NC. There was a shooting match at the French Broad Rifles range and I won second place. It was a small wampum belt which I understand was made by the Abenaki and sold through their site. Probably the same source. I still have it in my souvenir room. It is similar to the Mohican belt, but a slightly different pattern. |

Very good looking belt Fitz. ... On my last visit to No. 4 when the Abernaki were there I bought a wrist band that looks very much like a small wampum belt - from Linda Longtoe - the wife of Roger Longtoe, Chief of the local Abernaki's. - She made this one - in fact they have a place in Jamaica, Vermont called "Two Otters" where they sell "Native American Arts". - His handmade tomahawks go for about $100.00 ea. - look absolutely great - but didn't buy one. |
