The Ottawa Odaawa or Odawa tribe were closely linked to the Algonquin, Potawatomi and Ojibwe people, speaking a very closely related language. They were famous as traders with other tribes and with white people.
In 1615 a French explorer wrote that the warriors wore no breechclouts and were armed with bows, shields and war clubs. They had many tattoos, painted faces and pierced noses.
Other early writers agreed that Ottawa men went almost naked, wearing just moccasins and a robe of fur; only later did they adopt fitted breechclouts of soft-tanned deerhide (buckskin) and occasionally leggings.
Women originally wore just a wraparound buckskin skirt, with a poncho-like top added in cool weather. Later they made long buckskin dresses with separate sleeves like those of the Ojibwe, worn over an underskirt of nettle fibres and short leather leggings.
Moccasins were of deerskin or moose hide, each made in one piece with a seam along the top of the foot.
Robes of tanned deerskin or many small furs sewn together.
Because of their skills as traders, the Ottawa people quickly adopted many items of dress from white traders: blankets, shirts, dresses, trade cloth, silver ornaments and arm bands and many other items soon became "traditional" wear.
