We are lucky to have first-hand accounts of most aspects of the Crow people, written by explorers, traders, trappers and others who met them in the early 19th century.
Edwin Thompson Denig wrote in 1855 that the Crow warriors were "perhaps the most handsome body of Indians in North America. They are all tall, straight, well formed with bold, fierce eyes and good teeth. They also dress elegantly and expensively. A single shirt often brings the value of two,three or four horses. They wear their hair long, that is it is separated into plaits to which other hair is attached with gum, and hangs down their backs to several feet in length, in a broad, flat mass which is tied at the end and spotted over with clay. A small portion in front is cut short and made to stand upright.* On each side of the head hang frontlets of beads or shells . . . their faces are painted red, varied with yellow on the eyelids."
George Catlin, explorer and artist, wrote in the 1830s that "The Crows are known everywhere by their beautiful white dress; the greater part of the men being six feet tall . . .They may justly be said to be the most beautifully clad of all the Indians in these regions."
Originally, men wore leggings of white-tanned deerskin, often with bands of quill or bead decoration down the outside of the leg. A breechcloth of soft-tanned deerskin and soft-soled moccasins and occasionally a deerskin shirt completed the outfit.
Women wore a dress of elk or deerskins, tanned nearly white and usually decorated on the upper third with elk teeth. Short leggings and moccasins were also worn.
As soon as white traders contacted the Crows, they began to wear European-style shirts and hats, with dresses of cloth for the women (but still decorated in the traditional way).
*The front hair brushed upright was so often worn by Crow warriors that it became one of the signs for "Crow" in native sign language.
The links below show images of Crow warriors and a Crow woman and child, plus a website showing surviving Crow clothing, weapons and other items.
The Creek Indians identified themselves as Muskogee after Europeans arrived. Creek men wore breechcloths and leather leggings, while the women wore wraparound skirts and mantles made of deerskin.
Men of the Cree tribe traditionally wore leggings and a breech clout of deerskin or buffalo hide. The women wore knee-length dresses that hung from two shoulder straps, along with decorated belts and leggings.
The Susquehannock tribe wore bear and wolf skins for there clothes. They also traded fur with the Dutch. Another thing I know is that they wore jewelry.
