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.

New Ownership (2025)

In 2025, a new chapter begins—one rooted in respect, authenticity, and community.

As the new owner, my vision is to build a space where trust and confidence come naturally. Every decision made is guided by integrity, transparency, and a deep appreciation for the culture and craftsmanship behind the products we carry.

We are proud to be returning to our roots by focusing on authentic, artisan-made Indigenous items. Each piece is thoughtfully sourced from talented Indigenous artists, ensuring their work is honored, supported, and shared in a meaningful way.

More than just a store, this is a space for connection—a welcoming, inclusive environment where everyone can feel safe, respected, and inspired. Whether you’re here to shop, learn, or simply explore, you are valued and welcomed.

This is more than a business—it’s a commitment to community, culture, and creating something truly meaningful.
