Description: An excellent book on the use and meaning of wampum belts by the Iroquois. I found the descriptions and history of the belts fascinating. There does not appear to be very much written on this subject, and several of the publications outlining the wampum belts are out of print. The book covers most of the well-known wampum belts including photographs of reproductions of these belts. Color photographs would have been better, but there is still enough detail to see some of the individual beads.
