What native American use blankets for?
Trade blankets were used in various ways. They made simple and easy substitutes for animal skin robes for winter warmth - hides meant a great deal of work on the part of the women, so blankets were a welcome replacement with little or no work involved. In the north, many tribes made coats from blanket material - these are termed capotes or parkas and usually had a hood attached. Tribes such as the Crows soon learned to make men's leggings of blanket material with distinctive beaded designs at the bottom edge. Plains tribes used blankets to make simple pad saddles on men's horses, or allowed the blanket to entirely cover the rear half of the horse. Blanket material was also cut to make masks for war horses. Some tribes made "sweat lodges" - think sauna, but with spiritual cleansing purposes. These could be covered with blankets instead of the earlier buffalo hides. The links below take you to images of some uses for blankets:
