The first european explorers and colonists gave native americans glass and ceramic beads as gifts and used beads for trade with them. Most of the beads were made of glass a material previously unknown to the native cultures.
Then native american beadwork continued when the people used stone tools or abrasive sand to shape other materials and drill holes through them.
Where did native americans get their beads from. Glass beads were brought to america by colonizers and quickly became very popular among the native american indians. Beads were important for early trade items. They often replaced indian made beads of bone shell copper and stone.
These natural items were easy to gather from hunted animals could be cut to any length that suited the design and already had a natural hole through the middle. By the mid 1800s when europeans arrived on the plains their trade goods such as glass beads colored cloth iron implements and guns had preceded them along well established and dynamic native trade routes. Native americans had made bone shell and stone beads long before the europeans arrived in north america and continued to do so.
