Tlingit smaller moccasins is a child-sized or petite pairs of traditional Tlingit footwear, often around 7 inches in length, made from materials like seal fur, hide, or leather, and frequently adorned with intricate beadwork featuring designs such as animals (e.g., eagles, frogs, bears) or abstract motifs.

The Tlingit people, Indigenous to the Pacific Northwest Coast (primarily Southeast Alaska and parts of Canada), traditionally crafted soft-soled moccasins from tanned hides, sometimes trimmed with fur for warmth and decoration. While many Tlingit went barefoot much of the time—even in snow—moccasins were used for protection or ceremonial purposes, especially in colder conditions or for special occasions. Beadwork often incorporates clan crests or symbolic patterns in vibrant colors using glass beads.
