• Intricate Beadwork: This custom pair is adorned with intricate beadwork. The beads include a mixture of finishes, featuring glass satin beads and glass seed beads in size 11, meticulously placed by hand through hours of dedication and skill. 
• Cultural Significance: This design is infused with symbolism from both cultures. Indigenous people from Turtle Island honour the strawberry. Within Haudenosaunee traditions we hold the heart berry in high regard. This special pair of moccasins also honours Palestinian culture. When it became illegal by the occupation to use the Palestinian flag, they began to use the watermelon as a sign of their culture as it shares the same colours as their flag. This beadwork blends both images together to create a piece of meaningful and unique cultural synthesis.
