What did they
wear?
The Iroquois Indians made clothes from soft deerskin. The women
and men wore leggings, shirts, and moccasins.
The women wore a skirt
or a dress that covered most of their leggings.
In the winter, the men
added a smock that went down to their knees for warmth.
They decorated
their clothes with dyed porcupine quills.
The women wore their hair long. Warriors wore
their hair in a "mohawk" - a wide stripe of hair left down
the middle of their head.
Men removed all body hair by scraping it
off.
Both men and women decorated their bodies with tattoos.
