MOCCASIN MAKERS & WAR BREAKERS:
A CALL TO ACTION BY THE WOMEN OF THE WORLD
MOHAWK NATION NEWS: April 27, 2026.
WE HAVE THE POWER TO STOP THE WAR!
‘BEFORE THE MEN CAN GO TO WAR, THE WOMEN MUST MAKE THEIR MOCCASINS.”
In the tradition of our ancestors, it was customary for the women to make the moccasins worn by the men who were going to war. If the women did not want war, they did not make the moccasins. Our ancestors belonged to the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Europeans called us Iroquois.
