Aboriginals in New Brunswick - Using Symbols to Communicate Messages	Maliseet	Canada - Eastern
Illustration of a Wampum Bias Weave Collar - Wampum was used by many Indian peoples in the northeastern part of North America as a way of recording and sending messages. It consisted of purple and white beads made from the shells of quahog clams. The beads were strung in single strands or woven into 'belts', much like those made on bead-looms today. The design on each string or belt indicated the type of message being sent and helped the messenger remember the specific contents.
