Hi Jamey!
I think these are merely _found_ by this particular Karen village. If they were used by them they'd probably not be so easy to sell the found beads off. It's a group that was relocated in the last 30 or so years following a particular monk who brought together Karin people from several different areas to make new villages.
According to Pam and Angie of Shiana they are beads that are found while cultivating the crop area. (Corn, if I remember correctly. The monk's leadership helped stop poppy growing as a main crop.)
