Rock Your Mocs is an opportunity for Native peoples across the country to express solidarity and embrace their identities by wearing traditional footwear. Established in 2011, Rock Your Mocs inspired cultural pride for American Indians and Alaska Natives to showcase individual Tribal identity and honor the diversity of cultures. 

As Indigenous peoples across the world celebrate by sharing traditional regalia during Rock Your Mocs week (November 10th -16th), the National Park Service invites Indigenous employees, volunteers, and visitors to #RockYourMocs in parks.
