- Description
- When the first white visitors arrived in the Plains region, the people they met wore moccasins made from one piece of hide, decorated with dyed porcupine quills. From about 1830, glass beads were quickly adopted, when they became easily available through trade with Europeans. These moccasins include red trade cloth. Early 19th century.
