These were made by the family of Mih\u0161ihkinaahkwa <\/em>\u2018Little Turtle\u2019 and are seen here worn by his second great-grandson Waapimaankwa <\/em>\u2018Anthony Rivarre\u2019 in the photo. Seated on the left in this photo is Kiilhsoohkwa<\/em>, Waapimaankwa\u2019s <\/em>mother. Kiilhsoohkwa <\/em>may have been one of the seamstresses who made these beautiful works of art. These are a rare surviving example of complementary leggings and moccasins. They demonstrate how the geometric designs on the moccasin flaps blend with the designs on the legging flaps and cuffs. It is not known how these objects left Kiilhsoohkwa\u2019s <\/em>family, but in 2000 a guest brought them on the television show Antiques Roadshow. Shortly after, they were purchased by the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto. This exhibit marks the first time our community has been able to view these objects in person. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
