* Originally Chinese produced, Blue Padre Beads were brought to America & Africa by Traders during the 1700’s & 1800’s. Spanish Explorers brought them to North America, where Catholic Priests were known to give these “padre” glass beads to Native American converts, who loved these beads for their sky-blue color. Lewis & Clark refer to these beads as a “chief bead” and as being important for trade.
