The American Indian is one of the most fabled and fascinating characters in the history of the nation. The many tribes who made their home across the unspoiled land discovered by Europeans in the 1400′s have an interesting and in some cases sad history. They have captured the modern imagination through famous legends of characters such as Pocahontas and Geronimo, featured in films and books. Along with their counterpart the cowboy, Indian costumes are classics that have been around for a long time.
Most Indian costumes feature leather or suede-look fabrics and decorative feathers that are the classic outfit of the American Indian. From that basis, costumes branch out into many variations – long and short skirts for women, pants for men, fancy feather headdresses and simple headbands. Indian costumes are versatile and available for men, women and children. Spears and hatchets are classic Indian costume accessories.
