Good word from Rita Gilmore.

"Wearing my silver jewelry for strength, my 

turqouise for blessings & friendship and my 

white shell necklace for my spiritual 

foundation. Long ago our ancestors honored 

the white shell necklaces..when one wears 

the white shell necklace its an homage to

 White Shell Woman..If you look at the

 pictures taken of our ancestors during the 

1800's before the Long Walk you'll see them

 all wearing white shell necklaces..."
