The Look: Native American Cherokee Tribe

 The traditional look of the Cherokee tribespeople is on the whole more simplistic, but also at times more colourful. 

 While the clothing, both for everyday wear, and for hunting and fighting, follows the same colours, patterns and textures as the clothing of most other Native American tribes, the face makeup and hairstyles are noticeably different.

For warriors and elders, and single feather is worn at the back of the crown of the head, sometimes attached to a woven headband. The hairline is often cut much further back into the head, which leaves room for colour makeup in simple designs on the face. This allows the warriors to look more menacing.

Despite the difference in the hairline that often occurs, the hair, as with almost all Native American people, remains thick, long, dark and almost always braided.
