Crafts-> Beadwork: Traditional wampum carries message of health

KEYWORDS: Health diabetes wampum belt culture traditions
AUTHOR: Christine Graef, Correspondent, Indian Country Today
QUEBEC - Since it left Joe Jacob's home in Kahnawake, Quebec, the Diabetes Wampum Belt has been carried by walkers, bicyclists, canoes and runners across 1,500 miles, through more than a dozen communities, carrying its message of strength. It's been estimated the belt could take about 300 years to make its rounds and return to where it originated.
"It carries good words, strong words," said Jacobs.
The project began in Jacob's sleep when, in 1996, his dreams were riddled with images of people gathering around a messenger and the words "our blood is sweet." When he understood it to mean he needed to take a message of diabetes awareness to neighboring communities, he followed the example of his Mohawk ancestors who used wampum to pass on the word.
Jacobs, who does not have diabetes but has family members with the disease, spent hours cutting the white plastic from an electrical wire to make hundreds of half-inch long beads. He also made his own loom and, using nylon and cat sinew, created the purple and white belt that says, "Teiakonekwenhsatsikhe:tare" (our blood is sweet).

Crafts-> Beadwork: Iroquois beadwork displayed at the George Gustav Heye Center through May 19th

AUTHOR: Grace Glueck
New York Times
The show "Across Borders: Beadwork in Iroquois Life" at the George Gustav Heye Center of the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian lays to rest any idea that the tourist items were mostly made-for-the-trade tchotchkes.
Done with a vital design sense and extraordinary handcraft, they are part of a long line of Iroquois beadwork that goes back hundreds of years to a time when beads made from shells and bird bones were used instead of the tiny glass cylinders first brought to North America by European explorers in the 16th century.
