This collection of background material, lesson plans, and activities concerns wampum belts and other uses of wampum among the Mohawk Indians. It is divided into four sections--the introductory narrative and three lesson plans. The lesson plans are on the uses of wampum, the making of wampum, and wampum belts. Each lesson plan provides the vocabulary to be discussed, purpose, instructional objectives, materials, methods, and an activity sheet for evaluation purposes. The activities are illustrated with pen-and-ink drawings. A selected bibliography concludes the booklet. (AMH)
