Rock Your Moccs week will be November 9 to 15 2025. Rock Your Moccs is an event to amplify Indigenous traditions of footwear and to honour how the styles vary from Nation to Nation. Wear moccasins this week to connect with your Nation.. to honour Indigenous traditions.. and to start conversations around our traditions.

From the RYM Facebook page: 
Why a week? To create more event opportunity days, especially for schools, people who work M-F, and people organizing events.
Do we have to wear our Mocs the whole week? Nope, choose a day or days, or the whole week.


Is there a main day? The original day will always be November 15th. 


Where is RYM held? Wherever you may be and wherever your day takes you or there may be an event in your community.


Why? We, as Indigenous people stand united through our tribal individuality, symbolically wear our moccasins, honor our ancestors, and indigenous peoples worldwide, during Rock Your Mocs and National Native American Heritage Month


What is Rock Your Mocs? Established 2011, Rock Your Mocs, is best described as a worldwide Native American & Indigenous Peoples social media unity event held annually and concurrently with November National Native American Heritage Month in the U.S.A.
An expression of cultural pride, during Rock Your Mocs, people wear their moccasins and share photos on social media with the hashtag #ROCKYOURMOCS thus creating an online “photo album” for the world to see. Utilizing social media, Native American/Indigneous Peoples celebrate their inherent sense of identity.
Additionally individuals, organizations, businesses, schools, museums and tribes are taking the initiative to create their own independent events throughout the world.
