What clothes did the tillamook Indians wear?

Answer 1

The Tillamook, like their neighbours the Clatsop, Affalati, Siletz and Yaquina wore very little clothing.

Men often went completely naked, or wore aprons or breechclouts, sometimes covered with feathers. In cool weather they added deerskin or elkhide leggings and shirts, belted at the waist. A headband of fur or dressed leather kept the long, loose hair in place. Men generally wore nose ornaments of dentalium shell.

Women traditionally wore just a fringe skirt of shredded cedar bark, with a cold-weather cape of the same material. For special occasions they had knee-length buckskin tunics decorated with fringes, bear-grass tassels, quillwork, pine seeds and dentalium shells - the amount of decoration signified relative status. Women also wore flat-topped basketwork hats.

Both sexes generally went barefoot, but in winter there were deerskin moccasins which covered the ankles.Simple round snowshoes were also worn by hunters in winter.

Answer 2

The Tillamook Indians traditionally wore clothing made from cedar bark and animal hides. Cedar bark was often woven into garments such as capes, skirts, and hats. They also used animal hides, such as deer and elk, to make clothing like tunics and moccasins. These materials provided protection from the elements while allowing for mobility and comfort in their coastal environment.
