Cultural Literacy: Wampum

Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on wampum. This is a half-page worksheet with a reading of one sentence and one comprehension question.

Which is too bad; I grew up, probably having absorbed it passively through popular culture, thinking wampum was currency, or money. In fact, wampum, usually presented in belts, is a complex cultural article in Eastern woodlands tribes of indigenous peoples in North America.
