Rock Your Mocs is a celebration of Indigenous pride, where people wear moccasins to show solidarity and honour Indigenous culture. It is a fun and meaningful way to raise awareness about Indigenous identity.

What started as a grassroots movement in 2011 has grown into a global event that uplifts Indigenous unity, cultural expression, and visibility.

Moccasins are traditional footwear worn by many Indigenous Nations across Turtle Island – including the Anishnaabeg and Haudenosaunee. Moccasins vary in style and meaning, reflecting the land, climate, and cultural traditions of each Nation.

From Nov. 9 to15, Indigenous people around the world wear their moccasins (or other traditional footwear) and share their stories using #RockYourMocs. Rock Your Mocs is a week for celebration, storytelling, and education. It is also a time for non-Indigenous allies to learn and help normalize the visibility of Indigenous traditions.
