Rock Your Mocs

What is the Rock Your Mocs event?

The event originally began in 2011 and was created by Jessica “Jaylyn” Atsye of the Laguna Pueblo tribe. Atsye said that she wanted to highlight and give opportunity for Native people to express solidarity and “embrace their identities.” During the Rock Your Mocs, people wear their moccasins, take a photo, create a video or story, add the hashtag #ROCKYOURMOCS and upload to social media. This creates “an online photo album” for the world to see and enjoy.

Rock Your Mocs is wherever you are and also, individuals, organizations, businesses, schools, museums and tribes are taking the initiative to create their own independent local events too.

Join us in wearing your mocs on November 15, we can't wait to see you all Rockin' Your Mocs!
