What are the characteristics of Indian clothing?

Indian costumes are characterized by feathers and headdresses, and eagle crowns.

The Indian clothing materials living in grassland areas are mainly cowhide. Women processed the wild cowhide used for clothes into mature skin, rubbed it with round stones, and dried it on the seam made of bone cone and wild beef tendon.

At first, men's wear was a small tanned apron, a long leggings around the waist and a wild cowhide cloak or shawl. Women's clothes are mainly shawls, decorated with colorful flowers made of various embroideries and small glass beads.

Both men and women have long hair. A man has a bunch of long hair on his head, and everything else has been shaved off. That long hair is either loose or braided on the top of the head, while women braid it.

The eagle emblem is a major feature of Indian clothing. Indians regard feathers as a symbol of courage and honor and often wear hats to show off to others.

On some solemn occasions, some important people will wear hats made of eagle feathers and mink, while women will use earrings and collars made of shells and bones.

Indians were originally an ancient people who immigrated to America from Asia more than 20,000 years ago. After a long time, Indians spread all over the North American continent and thrived there.

The customs of food, clothing, housing and transportation of all ethnic groups are formed in the specific natural environment and long-term historical development, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation of North American Indians are no exception.

Houses in India are 30 meters long and are often called longhouses. Many other Indian houses have round wooden structures, and the roofs are covered with bark. Some Indians, like Mandan, live in huts covered with mud.

Cone tent is another kind of house for Indians, and black-footed Indians live in this kind of tent. Before the Spanish brought horses to America, Indians walked around.

Before horses appeared, some Indians used dogs to drag tents and carry things with poles. Indians living by rivers and lakes use canoes as a means of transportation.
