A single Cree or Cree-Metis made moose skin moccasin. The moccasin has floral quill work embroidery on the vamp, which has been edged with bird quill. Wide, pinked, cuffs have been sewn onto the moccasin with leather strips interwoven around the cuff to tie the foot in. Note that this is the pair to AAA2629.

This one of a number of Cree/Cree-Metis objects brought back by Admiral Sir George Back (1796-1878) from Canada during one of the three overland expeditions that he participated in or, in the case of the 1833-1835 expedition, led. However, we do not know from which the moccasin was acquired.
