How did the Iroquois make their moccasins?

Answer 1

Two types of moccasin were originally made on the Plains: hard-soled and soft-soled.

The soft-soled type were initially used by the Crows and other northern tribes; they were each made from a single piece of "buckskin" - the tanned hide of deer, antelope or elk. Each one had a single seam around the toe, outer edge of the foot and at the heel, with the fold in the leather forming the inner side of the foot.

Hard-soled moccasins were used by the other Plains tribes and were each made in two pieces: a hard sole from buffalo rawhide (often old tipi covers cut up for the purpose), plus a buckskin upper. The Crows later changed to the hard-sole style, no doubt because their own type quickly wore out.

Both styles might have no cuff, or might have an extra piece attached as a cuff that could be worn up or folded down.

The uppers could be left entirely plain (for everyday use) or decorated with paint, porcupine quillwork or beaded designs. The colours and specific designs used were traditional to each tribe, so an experienced white scout could tell a native's tribe by the colour and designs of his beadwork.

All stitching was done with an awl to make holes and pieces of animal sinew that were wetted in the mouth, except for a short length that was kept dry and stiff and acted as its own needle.
