What did the Potawatomi tribe wear?

Answer 1

The tribe formerly called Winnebago are now referred to as Ho-Chunk or Hochunkara derived from their own name for themselves: hocÄ…k (big voice).

Historically they included elements of both Plains and eastern woodlands culture. Men wore long breechclouts with flaps of deer hide painted red or black, tight leggings with front seams and garters below the knees and a poncho-like top for cool weather. Short fringes were typical of Winnebago clothing.

Women originally wore a shirt-like deerskin top reaching to the thighs, but by the time of European contact they wore strap-and-sleeve dresses like those of the Ojibwe. Short leggings folded over at the top were commonly worn.

Moccasins were extremely distinctive. They were made in one piece with soft soles and a front seam; those of the women had a very large front cuff that almost completely covered the foot and was decorated with moosehair or porcupine quill embroidery.

Winter robes were of bear pelts or buffalo hides.

Men wore their hair in two braids or clumps; women wore a single braid at the back and often enclosed in a beaded and decorated deerskin cover.
