About Us
In 2007, The Silver Moccasin was established in Cobalt, Ontario. ‘The Silver Moccasin‘ name reflects the town of Cobalt’s historic silver mining camp theme and is also located on Silver Street. The Moccasin represents the native culture and our specialty product. Our products include authentic, Indigenous-made Canadian arts and crafts, as well as novelty gifts and souvenirs. Our specialty moccasins are made in Canada by Indigenous artisans and from Indigenous-owned companies. Great care is taken to ensure that all products meet our standards of quality, which in turn allows you, the customer, to have complete satisfaction with your purchases.
Our Slogan
“Celebrating Canada’s Indigenous History and Culture!”
Our Mission
To provide a shopping experience that will inform, inspire and satisfy the desire to purchase products that are meaningful as gifts or collectibles while promoting Indigenous culture and supporting Indigenous artisans.
Our Story
The Silver Moccasin opened its doors in August of 2007 and shortly thereafter launched the first online store, which has been growing and gathering a solid online customer base ever since. The physical store is open once again!
We are delighted to be doing what we love for a living! Making crafts and creating artwork is a favorite pastime of ours. Some of the products we produce ourselves include original paintings on canvas, art cards, dream catchers, leather bags, jewelry, friendship and talking feathers, smudge kits, and craft kits. Other products are purchased directly from Indigenous artisans in our local community and other First Nations communities in Canada. We hope you enjoy your visit, and please do come back so you don’t miss out on new products and updates on news and events!
