Sheepskin moccasins: comfort and history

The Native Americans are responsible for many beautiful and useful inventions. They have given us the totem pole, kayaks, lacrosse, snowshoes, and canoes. They are also the creator of moccasins.

These shoes, such as our sheepskin moccasins, were originally created by the Northern Native American tribes to keep their feet from freezing when walking. From the original intention, many variations came about by way of decoration, sewing patterns, amount of foot and leg coverage, and embellishments.

Native Americans would wear moccasins that were specially beaded everywhere for marriage ceremonies. They would also bead and design their shoes according to their tribe sometimes. It is said that one would be able to recognize a person's tribe just from the footprint that they left behind.
