Nearly every native American tribe had it's own distinctive style of dress and the people could often tell each other's tribal indentities by looking their clothes, head-dresses and nemen taken. In most tribes, Native American men wore breechcloths ( a long rectangular piece of hide or cloth tucked over a belt, so that the flaps fell down in front  of the behind). Sometimes leather leggings attached in colder climates. In other tribes Indian men wore a shirt, kilt and fur trousers instead of breechcloth.
 American Indian ladies wore skirts and leggings but the length and design varied from tribe to tribe. Women always wore tunics and mantles in public. In other tribes women wore just one piece dresses
(Cheyenne buckskin dress ). Most tribes had some form of moccasin ( sturdy leather  shoe).
