About moosehide
For the Cree of Eeyou Istchee, the moose is a harvested animal that feeds families, and its hide has been prepared by hand for generations. Scraping, stretching, softening and smoking a hide takes time, patience and skill, and that knowledge is passed down within families and communities. Using the hide, down to the small pieces saved for jewelry and beadwork, reflects the Cree value of respecting the animal by making use of every part of the harvest. Wearing moosehide carries that connection to the land and to the people who keep these skills alive.
