Native American Historical Other Geographical Area Costumes

Native American Historical Other Geographical Area Costumes:

Equestrian gear adapted directly from white man?s tack for trapping, herding or nomadic lifestyles, or for special religious ceremonies. Tribes from Northern Canada and the United States and Canada west of the Rockies who used horses, donkeys or mules included the Apache, Chippewa, Hopi, Navajo, and Yakima/Yakama. We must also not forget the Native Americans of Mexico/Central and South America who adopted the horse for use within their culture. While these are not as numerous as the Plains Nations of North America, such tribes as the Teheulchas, Mapuches and Quechuas are just as interesting; the former two having a lifestyle very similar to the Apaches. (See photos Apache, Hopi, Navajo, Post-Pizarro Quechua-Incan, Teheulches and Mapuches). Horses, mules or donkeys are allowed.
