I do know the use of wampum was common for money, but I have heard they used the seed pods from specific trees as well, but cannot find any confirmation of this in my online research.
Also, does anyone know what the actual procedure for using this "money" was? How did it work?
"wampum" was originally used to pass messages. The early native Americans did not have money. anything that could be traded was money in the pocket. That is why the Stoes on the res were called trading posts. The native amerians would come in with what they had to trade, (hides, skins, completed clothing with beadwork, and so forth, and trade for what they wanted or needed. Befor the res, the tribes would have what is now called a powwow where several tribes would meet and trade foods, clothing, hides, beads (glass, shells, seed pods, nuts, metal pieces, pocupinr quills, and so forth), medicines and other such needs or wants.
