The man’s costume was relatively simple, consisting primarily of
breechclout and moccasins, with an additional skin robe in cold
weather. For special occasions, the men wore elaborate shirts and
headdresses of eagle feathers. Women wore moccasins, tight skin
leggings, a skirt and a shirt suspended from the shoulders by thongs.
Women wore their hair braided; the men had a horn-like scalp-lock.
Paint was the main form of personal adornment. The types preferred were
ochre, red and white clay, and yellow coloring obtained from flowers of
a species _solidago_. These pigments were commonly mixed with bison fat
or water.
