content: From card: "Made of single piece of skin, brought together and sewn all the way up the front; made from the shank of an animal's leg, probably buffalo. This type described to me by Piegan and Blood informants in the field, as an emergency and makeshift moccasin made by hunters or members of war parties whose supply of moccasins had worn out before return home. This type used as footgear only to get them home - JC Ewers. Jan. 1948."
