American Indian Footwear is traditionally made from leather and often includes moccasins. Moccasins are a type of shoe that have been worn by Native Americans for centuries. They are usually low-cut, soft-soled shoes that are designed to fit the foot closely and provide comfort and protection. The word 'MOCCASIN' comes from an Algonquian language and is derived from the Proto-Algonquian word 'maxkeseni'. Moccasins are still popular today and are often seen in modern fashion.
