Style In Clothes of the Teton Sioux

September 26, 1804


Southern Dakota






Teton men wore hawk feathers about their heads and robes over their bodies, while women dressed in buffalo skins and robes. They seemed very thin and almost ill-looking. Looks may be deceiving. This tribe seemed fierce and ready to fight. Captain Clark said the tribe was very powerful. We almost got in a blood battle with them on the 24th but their chief, Black Buffalo, calmed the anger down.


Any way hear is some samples of what the Teton Sioux wore.
