What does Nootka wear?

Answer 1

The Nootka's dress was quite homely most of the time. During favorable climatic conditions, the men would usually wear nothing except for a few ornaments, and women would wear skirts made of shredded cedar bark. In cooler or rainy weather, both sexes would wear cedar bark robes as well as a cone-shaped hat that would provide at least some protection. In the coldest times, the wealthier people would wear sea otter and bear skins, while the poorer would wear wildcat, racoon and other small animals. Men would wear their hair short - no longer than the shoulders, while the women would have long hair with two braids, the two tied at the ends. Although sometimes moccasins were worn, the Nootka usually went barefoot because their feet were wet most of the time anyway. Ceremonial attire was much more elaborate with prized robes and many different types of complicated masks and headdresses that would represent the heads of various animals.
