Narrative
Collected by the donor's grandmother who had lived in Winnipeg. The moccasins were listed as Ojibwa, and have Ojibwa style beadwork, but are not constructed in a typical Ojibwa style. Two piece moccasins with flat tops and soles are more typical of some Plains groups. Said to have been worn with D3.166 (dress), D3.147 a-b (leggings) and D3.143 (headband).
