These moccasins are part of a collection put together by English Hobbyist Raymond Wilkes. The collection combines English, European or North American-made hobbyist material, some objects made by Wilkes himself, and some Native American-made objects. The moccasins were probably made by a hobbyist and are in a northern Cree, northern Saulteaux/Ojibwa, or Northwest Territories style. [JMC 20/2/2019]
