What special symbols did the Ioway Indian tribe adorn on their costumes?

The idea the each tribe had its own special sign decorating their clothing is completely false; in many cases a tribe or sub-tribe would favour a particular style of decoration or beadwork, but this was never unique to that tribe.
The Ioways favoured diamond-shaped feather designs in their beadwork (also used by the Sioux); when blue, red and green cloth strouding became available they developed the technique of "reverse designs" on leggings and moccasins, often cutting out a design pattern in red cloth and stitching it over a piece of blue. By keeping the waste material from the red and stitching it to a contrasting colour backing, a reverse pattern was created.
The same idea was used by Osages and Otoes, among others.

Where did the name of the states come from?
Most of the early settlers came from England (hence New England) and simply named their new settlements after their place of origin; (New) York, (New) Jersey, (New) Hampshire, Plymouth, London, Portland, Portsmouth, Dunkirk, Burlington, Manchester, Birmingham, Cambridge, Salisbury, Camden, Dover, Bangor, even Woodstock. Immigrants from Germany brought Berlin, New Hampshire; from Italy Rome, New York; and those from The Netherlands brought New Amsterdam (later New York)NY. As expansion Westward took place the place naming became a little more imaginative. For example: Pennsylvania after William Penn, Pittsburgh after the British Prime Minister William Pitt. With the Louisianna (named after King Louis XV of France) Land Purchase the need to find new names for new states became quite serious. Some were named after the original names given by the French (New Orleans) or Spanish (Florida, Texas, New Mexico etc., still others simply Indiana (Indian Country).
