What is Rock
Your
Mocs
? Established 2011, Rock
Your
Mocs
, is a worldwide Native American & Indigenous Peoples social media unity event held annually and during National Native American Heritage Month in the U.S.A. People wear their moccasins wherever their day takes them and many take a photo, or create a video/story, and upload to social media with the hashtag #rockyourmocs. This creates an online photo album for the world to see and enjoy while simultaneously uniting Native American & Indigenous Peoples through their unique, and collective, tribal culture and heritage. Additionally individuals, organizations, casino’s, schools, museums and tribes are taking the initiative to create their own independent events, both cultural and contemporary, throughout the world.
