WAMPUM WEAR Was started by Dan Loudfoot-Simonds in the Summer of 2009.
"Creating Wampum is the same as creating a painting or any other work of art. I create Wampum because it is a traditional art to my tribe the Mashantucket Pequots and has been for thousands of years, it is a tradition that I hope to pass on for generations to come!"
