What clothing do the Arikara Indians wear?

Answer 1

I guess you mean "How did the Arikara dress in the 19th century?".

The Arikara or Sanish are one of three so-called "village tribes" living along the Upper Missouri river (the others being the Mandan and Hidatsa); although they had many aspects of Plains culture, they lived in semi-permanent earth-lodge villages and were only marginally Plains people.

At an early date men wore just a deerskin poncho, which later developed into a shirt with sleeves left open beneath, a triangular neck flap and bands of quillwork, Leggings were each made of an entire deerskin, with wide flaps each side; breechclouts were narrow and short (like those of their relatives the Pawnee).

Women wore the two-skin dress made of white-tanned antelope or deerskins, decorated with fringe around the lower edge of the sleeves and skirt. Short leggings of antelope skin were also worn.

Arikara moccasins were of the soft-soled type with the puckered toe gathered into a U-shaped insert above the instep. Women liked the decoration on their leggings to match that on their moccasins. By the late 19th century, hard-soled moccasins were being worn.

Warriors wore roaches of dyed deer hair, attached to the hair with a bone roach spreader. Some brushed up the fringe at the front of the head, others simply wore two braids. Women either wore the hair parted in the middle and hanging long and loose, or braided it when working - the parting was painted red.

Arikara warriors do not seem to have used the Sioux-style warbonnet until very late, instead important warriors and chiefs wore a "fan" of eagle feathers attached to the back of the hair, spreading out like a halo. Other men simply wore one or two eagle feathers or fur caps of many kinds. Body and face paint was either in solid colours or spotted in yellow or white on another colour.
