Craft / Fashion

Melanie Squire has been operating Mohawk Mocs since 2013, a home-based business in Six Nations of the Grand River. Along with her mother, husband and aunt, Mohawk Mocs provides custom moccasins for the entire family. All patterns are hand-crafted, and each manufacturing step has been hand-processed from cutting, punching, beading and sewing. The Mohawk Mocs family is continually re-drafting patterns to improve fit. They pride themselves on being able to provide traditional styles and new, more contemporary styles such as our signature “work boot” moccasin.
