Shoshone beaded moccasins are traditional footwear of the Shoshone people, a Native American tribe historically ranging across the Great Basin and parts of the Plains (including Eastern Shoshone in Wyoming's Wind River Reservation and Northern/Western groups like Shoshone-Bannock in Idaho). These moccasins are renowned for their exquisite beadwork, often featuring vibrant glass beads introduced through trade in the 19th century.
