Context:
This spectacularly decorated man's cape may have been part of an ensemble of beaded clothing, perhaps including leggings, breech cloth or "apron," one or two bandolier bags, and a hat or headdress--all covered with twining floral designs in bright colors on black velveteen. The mirror decoration, like glass beadwork, makes a new use of trade goods, taking advantage of their shine and color.
These clothing styles developed and flourished even as schools and missions pressed Indian people to become assimilated into Euro-American culture. Like other Native American traditions, distinctive dress--worn on such formal occasions as family and social events or religious ceremonies--helped Woodlands people retain their sense of identity.
