About this product
Lewis and Clark glass trade beads were blue, green, and dark-colored glass beads imported from Europe, used as currency and diplomatic gifts during the 1804–1806 Corps of Discovery expedition.
- Function as Money: Meriwether Lewis’s 1803 supply list noted that blue beads counted by the fathom (six feet) were valued more than green or white beads and served as currency.
- Native Exchange: Indigenous tribes along the Missouri River and Pacific coast eagerly traded provisions, sea otter robes, and cedar canoes for these glass adornments.
- Sacagawea’s Belt: William Clark famously traded a sea otter skin for a belt of blue beads worn by Sacagawea’s husband's-wife.
- Original old glass trade beads. Each buyer will get 3 beads I will grab from my supply. No picking and choosing please. FREE shipping to the USA. I hope you have a wonderful day!!! 🤗
