Gochman Family Collection

“ isbaapítiisaakshe (grandson)” These are the first moccasins that I wasn’t able to wear because I didn’t measure them correctly and after beading and sewing them together, I turned them inside out and they hardly fit my feet and so I held on to them over the years stashed away. I used my great grandma Joy’s beads from her small bead collection that was in a metal tin all mixed together *in photo attached, that was left over and I held on to them before they demolished her house without me knowing. They are all old Venetian seed bead with no facets. and later I added more beads to the top part of the moccasins. They are a size 9 in mens.
