Men went naked in summer except for mocassins. At times a breech cloth
was worn; in winter buffalo skin robes were added and belts, leg bands
and leggings on occasion.
Women when working apparently wore only a girdle (breech cloth), at
other times a wrap-around skirt of skin with a belt passing over one
shoulder and under the opposite arm. The skirt dates back to Hopewellian
times and was used during the Mississippi period in Indiana and probably
in Illinois. The bosom was covered with a deerskin wrap. Hair was worn
long and fastened behind the head.
