What did the shoshone Indians look like?
Facially, Teton Sioux women in the 1800s looked almostthe same as they do today (the difference being eyebrows - see below). They generally wore their hair in two braids which hung down the front of the shoulders, with the hair parting painted red for women who had reached puberty. They generally have round faces and high cheekbones, very black, straight hair and skin like polished copper.
Before traders brought blankets, trade cloth and ready-made dresses, they wore long dresses of elk or deerskins, often with an added yoke section at the top which was decorated with beadwork or dyed porcupine quills. Moccasins and short beaded leggings completed the outfit. Long "hair pipe" necklaces were favoured by Sioux women - these were originally of bone. They also wore earrings and chokers of dentalium shells.
All 19th century Sioux men and women, like most native Americans, removed all facial hair including the eyebrows, at first using freshwater clam shells and later metal tweezers obtained in trade. This is one feature of native culture that is no longer seen in North America - and an obvious error in all Hollywood movies depicting Plains Indians (next time you see "Dances With Wolves", count the eyebrows).
The links below take you to images of Teton Sioux women taken in the 19th century - note that not one has any eyebrows.
The Sioux Indians often drank water or tea made from local herbs. Later, the Indians drank coffee brought by the Spanish to the west.

What do beads and feathers mean on the shoshone Indians?
Red Feathers sybolize physical vitality, good fortune and life. This is the basic symbolism I could find. Now I'm not neccessarily trusting the source of this answer.
In Native American culture the overall symbolism is derived through how the feather came into your possession. Ie) found it, a bird left it for you, you pulled it from a bird.
So it depends on the type of bird, how you got it, whether it was in a dream or awake etc.
