What did Native Americans look like in the past? What were their clothes and hairstyles like?
They didn’t all look the same. For one thing, different tribes had different typical clothing styles. As you can imagine, Gwich’in people in Alaska didn’t dress the same as Calusa Indians in southern Florida! For another thing, individual Native American people in the same tribe often looked quite different from each other. All their clothes were made by hand, and they were usually decorated with designs, beadwork, and other art, so no two people in the tribe had the same dress. But here are some pictures of Indian clothes and moccasins to give you a general idea of what traditional Native American clothing looked like. And here is a page showing several different Native American hair styles.
