content: George Levi, David Ramos, and Joyce Twins of the Cheyenne delegation from the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma made these comments during the Recovering Voices Community Research Visit November 3-6, 2015. George notes that these are men's moccasins. The pattern on these moccasins include a lifeline. Each side is whole on its own with a morningstar. Joyce calls it a 'buffalo pattern' and George calls it a 'modified mountain design.' David explains the difference between men's and women's beadwork on moccasins. The men's designs are split and the women's designs are whole. These are men's moccasins because the pattern is split and each side is a whole pattern on its own.
