    I know this seed from Peru. Here is what is said about it for Peruvians. http://www.learnaboutperu.com/huayruro-jewelry/huayruro-seeds-bring-good-luck/

    The Huayruro plant is native to Peru, and has been an important part of Peruvian culture for centuries. Huayruro seeds are found in pods in the
    tall trees of the Peruvian rainforest. The red and black seeds are said
    to bring good fortune and abundance, while warding off negative energy.
    The mixture of black and red on the seeds is also said to bring
    balance. Locals collect the seeds that fall to the jungle floor, and
    many keep them in jars in their houses to bring them luck. They also
    make Huayruro seed bracelets for children to keep them safe from harm.
    In fact, newborn babies in Peru often receive Huayruro seeds as their
    first gift, with wishes for a happy and prosperous life. Peruvian
    artisans use Huayruro seeds in their huayruro jewelry. They make stunning huayruro necklaces, bracelets and earrings from clusters of Huayruro seeds. This Multistrand Huayruro Necklace from Lucky Seeds is one of my favorite pieces. With the seeds of the Huayruro, one of the most interesting Amazon plants, this necklace is truly unique and special.

“They Changed Her Name, Stole Her Freedom, But Could Never Take Africa From Her: The Unforgettable Story of Àbáké”

Matilda McCrear lived long enough to become a human bridge between Africa, American slavery, and the modern era. Born in West Africa around 1857, she was captured as a toddler and transported across the Atlantic aboard the Clotilda in 1860—the last known ship to bring enslaved Africans illegally into the United States. Her Yoruba name was Àbáké, meaning “born to be loved by all.” The facial scars on her left cheek, preserved in photographs, marked her as Yoruba. The voyage ...
