Common Dress code
They have a very basic mode of dress, making their clothing entirely from the skins of animals in a very Native American style. They don’t use a lot of dyes as they prefer the natural skin tones of the hides. When they do dye, it’s largely to make clothing for a special function, such as funerary shrouds and wedding cloaks. Jewelry is mostly beads and feathers in combination with each other, though some have been known to decorate their clothes by using the fur of the animals.
Uteran – pants
Pferital – vests that have buttons made of animal teeth or claws.
Earrings are called jeken’pel if made with feathers, jeken’telun if made with beads, and jeken’pelun if made with a combination of beads and feathers. Powerful individuals and leaders have furred mantles made with the animal heads still attached to the hide (atel’paloref). Necklaces are named similarly. Hak’me’pel are chains decorated with feathers, hak’me’telun for beaded decorations, and hak’me’pelun for combinations of beads and feathers. Chains made entirely of beads are called Telun’me. Animal teeth and bones aren’t used in any personal decoration, but sold to those who would care to use them.
