600 moccasin tops being sewn in memory of missing, murdered indigenous women
They are part of a group that's making more than 600 pairs of moccasin tops in memory of Canada's missing and murdered indigenous women.
The beaded works will be displayed as part of a travelling art installation project called Walking with Our Sisters. Each pair of moccasins symbolizes the unfinished life of a missing or murdered woman.

Waiting for Other Shoe to Drop: Exhibit Honors Missing, Murdered Women
“Walking With Our Sisters” is a commemorative art installation for the missing and murdered indigenous women of Canada and the United States.
Representing the unfinished lives of over 600 missing or murdered Indigenous women in Canada, the Walking With Our Sisters project contains only part of a moccasin, the vamp. The vamp, the top part of a moccasin, is most visible and is often beautifully decorated.
