Moccasins
Iroquois, 1850-1875
Iroquois women continued to make traditional objects, such as these moccasins,
to wear on dress occasions. Moccasins were also popular with non-Native
clientele, who considered them both exotic and unmistakably "native" and yet
could wear them at home as house slippers.
