Each tribe has its own design of moccasin; some have hard soles to deal with rocky ground while others have multiple layers of leather to help with colder weather. The beading adorning a moccasin is also indicative of which tribe created it. These moccasins are made by the Ojibwe (commonly called Chippewa) from around the Great Lakes.
Moccasins are used as an everyday footwear and designed to protect feet from the harsh conditions of nature. Many types of moccasins were made of soft leather; this made them relatively light as well as comfortable. Have you worn moccasins before? Have you ever made your own moccasins?
