content: Pamela Cardenas and Shayleen Macy of the Wasco delegation from the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs made these comments during the Recovering Voices Community Research Visit Aug 31-Sept4, 2015. These child's moccasins are well-used, there are lots of patches on the soles. Everyone had utilitarian, non-beaded stuff and then they would have the beaded objects for showing off. This is not actually a matched pair, the fringes are different. It is possible that the moccasins were worn as a pair, but they were not created as a pair, since children are susceptible to losing one shoe. It is also possible that the pair was created when collected and were never worn as a pair.
