History of Moccasins - Part 1

This is the first post of Moccasin Musings. Hopefully, the content will be of interest to you as time goes by.

Judging by the research , men's moccasins, women's moccasins or moccasin boots (mukluks) appear to be universal as footwear for early Native Americans. The word "moccasin" actually comes from the Algonquian language, although most tribes had their own word for their "moccasins." The word moccasin stuck since Algonquians were probably the first Native Americans Europeans met in Canada or USA. All moccasins were made from cured leather from such animals as deer, bison, elk, or moose and stitched together using a bone awl and sinew.
