What does the cheyenne tribe wear?

Answer 1

Cheyenne men of the early 1800s wore tanned leather breechclouts, long at front and back, with thigh-length legging with triangular flaps each side decorated with shells, deer hooves and fringes. The inside face of these flaps was painted red or orange.

No shirts at all were worn before contact with explorers; then they adopted very long shirts of mountain sheep, deer or antelope skins, often painted yellow and heavily fringed.

Women originally wore a simple dress of two skins with removable sleeves. Later they wore two-skin or three-skin dresses typical of all Plains tribes, with animal legs hanging from the sleeves and an unusual amount of fringe. Elk teeth were sewn on in rows, so many that a single dress might weigh 10 or 12 pounds. Dresses were often painted yellow, a favourite colour of the Cheyenne. Leggings were short and decorated with fringes and yellow paint; sometimes they were sewn to the moccasins to form "boots".

After about 1820 hard-soled moccasins were made with or without ankle flaps, often with two tails of leather at the heels.

Robes of tanned deer, elk or buffalo hide were worn in cool weather.

Men wore their hair stiffened and brushed up at the front, or long and loose, or braided on one side, or with a kind of cascade falling to one side of the face. Women wore their hair in two braids doubled up and fastened behind the head or behind each ear, or loose and flowing. No headbands were worn.

A few warriors wore the Sioux-style feather warbonnet, the straight-up warbonnet (like the Blackfoot version) or a headdress of buffalo horns. Some wore the skins of animals wrapped around the head like a turban but most wore no headgear.
