Take a fascinating look at the clothing styles of 19th and early 20th century Native Americans and learn what influenced their dress--environment, cultural tradition, status, and perhaps most intruguing, dreams and visions. Over 50 vintage photographs show the diversity of styles worn by Native People of various regions--from formal ceremonial regalia to everday combinations of Native and western pioneer garments. Most of the items described here are accompanied by illustrated instructions for recreating authentic apparel at home.
