The Look: Native American Navajo Tribe


 The traditional dress of the Navajo tribe is all about COLOUR. Makeup, if worn, would be simple, bold and graphic in design, but bright in colour- blues, reds, whites, yellows and oranges would all be seen on a tribesperson at a traditional event. 
 For meetings, celebrations and festivals, outfits of every different colour will be worn. Headdresses, headbands, feathered wings, fringed skirts and trousers, beaded breastplates, and animal hides all make up the vivid outfits of the Navajo people.



Everything that could ba made from something natural on a Native American tribesperson, will be. Natural dyes and paints made from earth, plants and flowers would be use to colour materials and paints for the face, and parts of hunted animals would be used to make and adorn the clothes.
