Whiteshell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Whiteshells (also known as Cowrie shells or Sacred Megis Shells) were used by aboriginal peoples around the world, but the words "whiteshell" and "Megis Shell" specifically refers to shells used by Ojibway peoples in their Midewiwin ceremonies. Whiteshell Provincial Park in Manitoba, Canada is named after the use of these shells.
