    Thank you for taking the time to do this video. Do them at your pace, I find them informative and interesting. I am curious about this period in time, the tribes roamed, the longhunters, mountain men, colonial America. It was a tough life, but in many ways, better than today. I would probably be dead before I reached this age, life spans were shorter then. Lol thank you for doing this

    I saw a pbs documentary recently and that first belt he shows (the tribal unity belt) was described ENTIRELY differently. This man’s explanation sounds much more rational than what pbs described.

      Hi, I've never seen the PBS documentary your speaking of but I find that rather instresing cause I've never heard or had that belt explained to me different then I did in the video by any woodland native. Plus my explanation the same as a well known book called Wampum belt's of the Iroquois by Tehanetorens (Ray Fadden). But I appreciate the comment and you're veiw and thanks for your interest in woodland native Wampum.

      I appreciate your concise explanation because I just felt the pbs producers…I don’t know how to describe it. It just felt “off” to me.
      I could be wrong and misunderstood it, but I still like your video better.
      The pbs doc said the first white square represented a woman in a canoe traveling on a kind of spiritual journey where she met Hiawatha. But they did FINALLY say at the end of the journey the belt represents the unity of the five tribes from what is now northern New York/southeast Canada.
      My step daughter is Wyandotte and we have family in the Choctaw Nation (and Oneida - which makes the belt personally interesting to me). Thanks for your reply!
