Hide and Fur

So, I finally got to go the Moccasin factory. It was pretty cool and I will be doing follow up later in the year when they are busy preparing for Christmas their busist time of year. The Company is called Peigan Crafts Ltd. It is on the Reserve and was created 30 years ago to give employment to the community. Now this company owns 25% of the leather moccasin market in Canada. I forgot my notes at work so you will have to wait for more details. The woman below has worked at the factory for 15 years and owns moccasins in every colour that they make.
