Best Answer

The small tribes known today as Otoes, Iowas and Missouris were three related groups who are classed as Siouan; all three may have separated from the Winnebago people long ago. The Otoes and Missouris combined together as a result of wars and disease reducing their numbers.

The dress of the Oto-Missouri people was influenced by the Plains tribes but retained many characteristics of the woodland Winnebagos: tight front-seamed leggings, long breechcloths, poncho-type shirt, all with short fringed edges. Leggings were gartered just below the knees, often with a beaded extension hanging down the side.

Women wore strap-and-sleeve dresses, short leggings and typical one-piece soft-soled moccasins.

Men wore their long hair in two braids, sometimes with a red-dyed deerhair roach attached at the back; a few shaved almost all the head; "turban style" headdress was common. Women wore a single braid at the back, sometimes with an elaborate hair-tie decorated with quills or beadwork.

Bear claw necklaces were worn by important warriors and chiefs; some also owned "peace medals" given out by US Army officers and reservation superintendents.
