Answer 2

The Cherokee Turban came to be from the fact that, in the 1600's, a group of Englishmen took a small group of Cherokee chiefs and warriors to England to meet the king. Just before they were to enter the throne room, the Englishmen decided that the Cherokee warriors were not dressed properly to be presented to the king. So, in looking around for something more appropriate to dress the Cherokee in, they found some old linen shirts from the time, and some turbans that were left over from some officials from India. They dressed the Cherokee in this attire to meet the king. They were allowed to keep these items when they were brought back to their village. Since then, other Cherokee, Choctaw, Shawnee, Seminole, and Chickasaw began wearing this type of head gear for ceremonies and Special functions. Since east of the Mississippi was a vast forest, it was not practical for the feathered war bonnets like the plains tribes had to be worn in this area. The turban was close to the head and light to wear. It also helps keep the head warm in Winter!
