This 2 Row Wampum or Hiawatha Wampum was created for a workshop at the Gilcrease Museum. I started the belt and then workshop participants were guided in finishing weaving the belt as they learned about the history of Indigenous peacekeeping and the meaning of wampum belts. After the workshop the belt was donated to the Education department of the Gilcrease Museum.
