Moccasins 1900

This pair of moccasins, created by an Oglala Lakȟóta artist around 1900, exemplifies the intricate beadwork characteristic of Indigenous art. The moccasins, crafted from leather and adorned with white, red, and blue beads, display a geometric pattern that reflects the artistic traditions of the Lakota people. The moccasins are now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art’s collection, providing a glimpse into the history and artistry of the Lakota people.
