how do the Navajo tribe dress for ceremonies?
Yes they do. When a Navajo ceremony is taking place people attending dress in their best clothes. What style that is has changed through time. For the last 140 years or so traditional women's dress is a tiered sometimes satin pleated skirt, long-sleeved often velveteen blouse, turquoise jewelry, concho and sash belts, and moccasins. For men they also wear jewelry, along with a shirt, pants and moccasins. Men and women with long hair wear it tied in a twisted bun with string or yarn wrapped around the middle of it. It is sometimes called a chongo, in Navajo -Tsiiyéél. It is in memory of Changing Woman and represents knowledge.. The girl at the center of a Kinaalda, a Navajo coming of age ceremony wears older traditional clothing in memory of Changing Woman (an important goddess). It is sort of like a Navajo rug with arm and head holes and a belt. Her hair is in a loose ponytail. In some ceremonies especial the one called by outsiders, Yei bichei (in Navajo: Tłʼééʼjí, Nightway), there are masked dancers in costume of nine different gods.
