The lot features a pair of circa early 1900 to 1910’s thick buffalo Indian hide men’s moccasins from Chief Little Dog, Last Pikunni War Chief, of all the Blackfeet from the Blackfeet Indian Reservation outside of Glacier Park in Montana. Chief Little Dog’s grandson Harvey Little Dog was the keeper of the family possessions and passed away in 2010. This came directly from the family and was said to have been owned and used by Chief Little Dog and his descendants. His warlike activities spanned an area from the Blackfoot territories to the Colorado river, and he was the leader of the Black-Patched-Moccasin Band. He died in 1916. The moccasins exhibit Indian tanned buffalo bison hide with sinew and thread sewing showing thick hard leather soles showing a medium height moccasin with legging wrap ankles. The set shows a foot worn pattern on the bottom and the hides nice patina from honest age and use. Provenance: From the Chief Little Dog, Last Pikunni War Chief, of all the Blackfeet.
