Culture Day: Learn to make moccasins

Miss. Nora is an elder at the school, a women who I have the utmost respect for.

You can see here that she is trimming the extra piece of hide around the front of a students moccasin.

In December 2014, our entire school gathered in the gymnasium for the entire day to participate in the schools fourth Culture Day. The students and staff sit in front of a few elders who explain the task (in this case making moccasins). From there, every student no matter the age participates. On this day, they were all given a needle and artificial sinew (this is used instead of regular thread for the leather) with hide and fleece.
