Cherokee Moccasin Design

"Like many other Creek and Seminole Designs, the linear elements
of the design on these moccasins are created with multiple colors
creating strong contrasts. An active, almost vibrating pattern results.
When most of the Cherokee were forced to leave Georgia as a result
of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, they brought this aesthetic to
Indian territory in Oklahoma, where it became an integral element in
the prairie style."*

Quoted from the book Native American Art
by David W. Penney, published in New York by Hugh Lauter Levin
Associates Inc. in 1994.
