My grandfather recieved these indian moccasins as a gift in 1906. In 1906 he was an 8 year old boy growing up on a ranch near Canton Oklahoma.
Next to the ranch was a settlement of Arapahoe Indians. My grandfather had several boyhood friends at the indian camp and one of his friends was
a girl who was supposed to get married in these moccasins. When the wedding day arived the moccasins would not fit! So the girl gave them to my grandfather!
Here they are, 106 years later! These moccasins will be passed down from generation to generation.....
