Moccasins usually followed a pattern that outlines the foot. However, each tribe added their own flair to such an extent that an individual could be idenitied by his/her moccasins. In fact, some tribes were named by their moccasins, for example, the Blackfeet tribe. Not only could a tribe could be identified by the pattern but also by the design that decorated the footwear. Materials used included quills, beads, or paint. Today these moccasins are sought by collectors and museums from around the world.
