    Thank you so much for sharing this with the world. My dad never taught my sister and I anything about our Native heritage. He was only half Native, but he was beautiful because of it. I always wanted to learn things like my full blooded friends were taught, but he never even acknowledged his heritage, and that was confusing and sad to me, because it’s the only heritage that I’m not ashamed of being in my blood. What we learned in history was a lie that i learned later in life, and it broke my heart. Anyway, I’m very grateful that I can find things on here, and learn things I’ve always wanted to. 💗Thank you for this💗

    They look nice and clean for sure, but the clubbing is concerning. Quote from Mayo Clinic. "Nail clubbing is sometimes the result of low oxygen in the blood and could be a sign of various types of lung disease. Nail clubbing is also associated with inflammatory bowel disease, cardiovascular disease, liver disease and AIDS."

They're just pinching my toes even without socks on. And I was hoping to wear socks with them in winter.. Do you have any ideas or experience in stretching out leather moccasins? Open to any ideas... I'll do literally about anything to be able to get these boots to fit. Ty in advance for your time. Regards Dawn 🙏🏾
