What did the Sioux tribe wear?

Answer 1

This varies among the many Sioux nation tribes.

Common things would include a medicine wheel pendant, Sea shells among the east coast tribe, beads of many sorts, feathers (the eagle feather is the main feather which represents the great spirit, however the USA govt has outlawed any Sioux from owning an eagle feather unless they are part of a federally recognized tribe. The fine for a Sioux owning an eagle feather today can reach $25,000).

Clothing included moccasin shoes, leather, and animal skin of various sorts.

Answer 2

There is no such thing as the Sioux tribe - Sioux refers to a group of many different related tribes which are grouped together by their dialects: Lakota in the west, Nakota in the middle and Dakota further east.

In general terms the earliest Lakota women wore a wrap-around skirt and a poncho-style top made of deer hide; then the strap-and-sleeve style dress was adopted; then the simple side-fold dress was worn with a folded-over top section and a single strap over the left shoulder; in the early 1800s the three-skin dress became normal wear with fringe on all seams.

The three-skin dress might have a completely bead-covered yoke or cape section, rows of elk teeth, or dentalia or cowrie shells.

Leggings were knee-length, quilled or beaded on the lower half and tied at the side with thongs; moccasins were hard-soled two-piece Plains style, with the hair left on the inside for winter wear.

Early porcupine quill decoration was soon replaced by glass beads obtained from traders. The Sioux tribes favoured white backgrounds and linear designs with stepped triangles, arrow shapes and crosses.

Women wore their hair long and loose and parted in the middle; some gathered the hair in a bunch at the back or wore two long braids tied at the ends.

In the later 19th century woollen cloth dresses, trade blankets and "hair pipe beads" of bone became popular among the Sioux tribes; women often wore these as earrings or large necklaces with the long white beads arranged vertically.
