Tiny Handmade, Hand-Beaded Athabascan Baby Mocassins
Even the smallest Alaska child – living in one of the most isolated and cold places in the world – deserved beautiful, lovingly decorated footwear.
These baby shoes are made of moosehide, and are on display at the Morris Thompson Cultural Center of the Tanana people – in Fairbanks, Alaska.
This is a story by the Copper River Country Journal celebrating Native Heritage Month, 2021.
