Native American Style Pucker Toe Deerskin Moccasins Kit
The Wandering Bull created the Eastern Woodlands Moccasin Kit for our customers to make their own Eastern Woodlands Pucker Toe Moccasins. Follow the easy instructions to make a wearable pair of Deerskin moccasins. Add your own decorative touches for a truly unique pair of moccasins.
Our Moccasin Kit includes Top Grain Deerskin Leather, Deerskin Leather Lacing and illustrated instructions. The enclosed materials are based on Men’s sizing (US). You create a pattern based on your own foot. Order a size that would be larger than your shoe size to ensure that you have enough material.
You will also need paper to make a foot tracing, a pen or pencil, an awl and scissors that will cut leather.
The Eastern Woodlands Moccasin Kit does not include beads or beadwork. You will find Beads, Real and Imitation Sinew, and Porcupine Quills at The Wandering Bull, LLC to decorate your moccasins.
These Antique Moccasins feature a spot beaded design. We believe the come from around 1920. The crafter used Braintanned Deerhide and stitched them together with cotton thread. He or she used Periwinkle Blue, Orange and Clear Red Seed Beads for the design. Rawhide soles cover the bottom.
A previous owner wore these moccasins, but they remain in collectible condition. You can see minor bead loss. You will also notice a couple places where the sole has separated from the upper and one spot where someone repaired a hole in the leather.
The lacing around the opening remains, but it is unlaced on the side of one of the moccasins. The top flaps remain attached to the moccasins.
These moccasins measure nearly 10″ long x 3.25″ wide. They stand 3″ high at the cuff.
Add these antique moccasins to your moccasin or beadwork collection!
This pair of antique moccasins was crafted in the early 20th century. The crafter was probably a Northeastern Algonquin from the eastern part of Canada. Their origin is determined by the construction and decoration of the moccasins.
The moccasins themselves are constructed with Braintanned Deerskin. Native Americans tanned their own deerhides using the brain of the animal to soften the hide. After it was soaked and worked, it was smoked to preserve it. Until Europeans brought commercial tanning methods to North America, all animal leather was braintanned. The moccasins were sewn together with cotton thread instead of real animal sinew, so they were created in the historical period. Continue reading Antique Moccasins: Montaignais Naskapi

This profusely illustrated book focuses on the resourcefulness of Native Americans living on Mount Desert Island in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In addition to maintaining their own heritage, they interacted with the tourists (rusticators) who came to vacation in Bar Harbor.

Eastern Woodlands Native American Clothing is both functional and decorative. During the pre-contact period, Eastern Native American clothing was made from animal leather and furs. When European trade goods arrived in Northeastern North America, the Native Americans eagerly adopted wool, cotton, linen, ribbons and beads to use for their own clothing. But while they began to use different materials, their clothing style remained essentially unchanged to allow them to move freely in their Woodland environment.

Reproduction Comanche Outfit Based on one Worn by Quanah Parker
Quanah Parker was born in 1845 to a Comanche Indian Chief, Peta Nocona, and his white captive wife, Cynthia Anne Parker. Quanah became a strong and respected leader among the Comanches and other Southern Plains Native American tribes. He led the fight against European settlers in his territory. He also led his people in negotiations with whites when he realized that continuing to fight would only lead to the annihilation of his people.
In the 1980s, crafter Sam Cahoun created this reproduction of an outfit worn by Quanah Parker. The outfit consists of a Braintanned Leather Shirt, Braintanned Leather Leggings, a Breechcloth, a Bone Hairpipe Breastplate, and a Pair of Otter Hair Ties. You can see in the historical photos that Quanah would have also worn Moccasins and a Blanket and carried other accessories. Continue reading Reproduction Comanche Outfit
Use both 1/4″ and 1/8″ pre-cut Rawhide Lacing to make your own drums! Rawhide is untanned Leather, so it is very hard.
To use this lacing, soak it in warm water for a couple of days to soften it. You will find it has the consistency of wet noodles when it is ready to use. It will shrink when it dries.
These Navajo Style Boots have been well worn. The crafter made them with Braintanned Deerskin Leather with a heavy Bison Leather sole and originally sewn with real sinew. The cuffs come up over the ankle and are secured with cone shaped silver buttons with a copper loop on the back. These Boots have been repaired, closing a hole on the vamp and re-attaching the sole to the top. You will see that they have been well worn and have fabulous patina on the leather. The leather is still very soft and supple.
The Boots measure 10.5″ long x 4.5″ wide. They stand about 7″ high when worn. We are selling them as is. One of a Kind!
Native Americans and Buffalo have a long history together. Buffalo, or the American Bison, has played an essential role in the survival and culture of the Native Americans who lived in the Plains region of what is now the United States, and parts of southern Canada. Buffalo once roamed the Plains in innumerable herds until the middle of the 19th century. Incursions by white settlers and the arrival of the railroad severely depleted the number of Buffalo living on the Plains. Native Americans use of every part of a Buffalo for food, clothing, tools, fuel and utensils. Continue reading Native Americans and Buffalo

This pair of antique moccasins was crafted in the early 20th century. The crafter was probably a Northeastern Algonquin from the eastern part of Canada. Their origin is determined by the construction and decoration of the moccasins.
