Description

DRESS CLOTHING OF THE PLAINS INDIANS
by Ronald R. Koch, Oklahoma UP, Norman & London, 1977.
In this book the author “discusses such costume-related subjects as feathers, color and painted designs, native ornaments, beads, cloth, hair and headgear, and dance costumes.  Although there were some similarities of dress among the Plains Indians, each tribe had its own styles, preferences and traditions….Those interested in Native American cultures will appreciate a book devoted entirely to identifying the variations found in the dress patterns and clothing ornamentations among the Indians of the North American Plains.”  These are some of the receptive reviews from leading magazines.  Thus, this book is recommended for “anyone who enjoys visiting Indian powwows or who is interested in the heritage of the Plains Indian will find this effort not only enjoyable but informative.”
