Dakota Moccasins. They are beaded with geometric designs and have fur soles.
Donor's Note: "This Pair of Sioux moccasins have a hard sole with some of the animal fur still left on them, a characteristic of Plains Indian moccasins. The buckskin used for the upper part is white, and the entire top part of the moccasin is beaded in white with a trim of predominantly blue beads, accented with red and orange beads, all in a triangular design. These were made by "Grandma," a full-blood Sioux."
