The Look: Native American Cheyenne Tribe

When someone thinks of the 'stereotypical' Native American tribesperson, wearing a large feathered headdress, beads, animal hide, and bright primary colours, they are thinking of the Cheyenne tribe. 

 Although makeup, tattooing and face painting is not commonly seen on the Cheyenne tribespeople, the colour comes from their clothing. Bright primary colours are incorporated into the beaded jewellery their wear in their hair and round their necks, embroidery on their clothes and their warrior's headdresses, and pieces of material braided into their hair. 

 They Cheyenne people are famous for their adornments- feathers, beads, fringing, jewellery and twine all make up their complicated and intricate outfits.
