What type of clothing did the Haudenosaunee wear?
When we go to the Longhouse for a ceremony or a social dance, we wear traditional regalia. For the women it may be a buckskin dress or a semi- long, cloth ribbon shirt worn over a skirt that is worn with leggings that are attached at the knee. The blouse, skirt and leggings are beautifully beaded. The beadwork designs are woodland designs, which depict flowers and animals. The men wear may wear buckskin leggings and shirts, or they too may wear a cloth ribbon shirt over material or leather leggings, Their regalia is beaded too. The beading is done on most edges and sometimes designs are beaded On the front and back of skirts. Women sometimes wear a tiara (looks like a crown) and the men wear a Kastoweh, which is a feather hat.
