"Often referred to as “squaw boots”, these hard soled, single button mocs were most often yellow when worn by the Navajo, as opposed to the dark red of those preferred by the Hopi. Made from brain-tanned hides, they were very comfortable and extremely durable. They have been relegated mostly to use as ceremonial wear in recent years."

What you get when you order a canvas print:
As soon as you order, you’ll get a confirmation email and tracking information. Then printing starts. Once your order has been printed and carefully packaged, you’ll be notified by email that it has shipped! Please note: It can take up to two weeks to receive your print, but it’s usually faster.
Your canvas print will arrive safely in sturdy cardboard packaging, and be ready to hang right out of the box.
This gallery-wrapped canvas print features a mirrored image around the edges, offering a polished finish. While we could have opted for a print solely on the front with white edges, we believe the mirrored edges add an extra touch of elegance, and doesn't require framing.
