Ojibwe Clothing

This picture was taken from Library of Congress Prints and Phorographs Division

The Ojibwe people made their clothes out of leather and plant fiber that was woven together.  The women wore different clothing then the men.  They wore sleeveless dresses and belts made from deerskin.  They would also wear woven skirts and leggings under their dresses.  For their feet they would have moccasins.  They had robes too, for the cold winter months.

Men would wear breech cloths, leggings, moccasins, and, like the women, robes.  All of this was made from the most plentiful animal, the deer.  Later on, when traders came to the land, the robes were replaced with thick blankets.
