Traditional artists building traditional businesses.

Manitobah Mukluks' Storyboot Project aims to help revive the traditional arts by creating business-building partnerships with elders and artisans who fashion mukluks and moccasins the traditional way.

From these artists they commission original handcrafted footwear and produce a limited collection of replicas called Storyboots.

Through their Storyboot Project they offer a 50/50 profit-sharing agreement that turns artisans into true partners in the business of bringing their Aboriginal footwear to the world.

In this way Manitobah Mukluks hope to help Aboriginal communities everywhere benefit from the knowledge of their ancestors and keep traditions alive.
