The Stock Costume Traits for Native Americans portrayed in the pre-modern age and, all too often, modern days. Typical traits of the uniform include: Long hair on both sexes, either free-flowing or in a single, thick braid. Alternately, mohawks. Feathers stuck in the hair as ornaments, or an elaborate feather headdress. Leather tunics or vests worn over a bare chest for men, with leather pants often lined with fringe. Women often wear a single-piece leather slip, leaving their legs bare. Soft leather moccasins for footwear, or simply barefoot. Bead jewelry on both sexes. Face or body paint. While aspects of these outfits are Truth in Television for some tribes, some of the time,note Large amounts of beading and jewelry for example is reserved for special occasions. North America is a big place, with a great deal of variation between Native cultures. Plus these aspects are occasionally applied to Native cultures outside of the US, leading to confusion as to why indigenous people in Peru are wearing buckskin. But since most writers can't be bothered with research, the common portrayal fails to capture this wide variety. Many tribes' traditional outfits look nothing like the stereotype. Another form of this is when Native American tribes are shown doing things and using stuff that belongs to a myriad of different tribes — an example of this being Disney's Peter Pan film, which juxtaposes tipis (Great Plains tribes) and totem poles (Pacific Northwest coastal tribes). To a more learned viewer, this is as jarring and inaccurate as portraying Vikings with Grecian temples. The cover of just about any Romance Novel featuring frontier-types will conveniently feature long, flowing hair with beads and fringed leather jerkins bare at the breast. Stereotypical characters who wear this outfit include the Magical Native American and The Savage Indian. Compare Culture Equals Costume. Related to Hollywood Natives and Tonto Talk. |

If you want to see films showing how Indian people dress and live today, watch Smoke Signals or anything else by Sherman Alexie. For modern Lakhota, watch Thunderheart. There is an excellent list of Native-made films here. To see traditional and modern dress, go to a pow-wow. You can see the differences and similarities between different tribes. There are several documentaries about pow-wows showing everyday attire along with the regalia worn for the dances. | |

Averted by India Sioux, the one who around EMLL in the 1970s and the one in the 2000s for Toryumon Mexico both. They wore leather, tights and had fairly short non braided hair. Played straighter by the Apaches, seen around the same areas and AAA, who wear feathers, but otherwise tend to lack braids and wear semi standard lucha libre gear. | |

X-Men: Danielle Moonstar fits the trope well, but there's some justification. She's from the Cheyenne tribe, which actually did wear that style of clothes. Considering she grew up on a reservation, her fashion choice is not that unusual. Forge is a Native American, albeit one who largely rejected his heritage and shaman training. Like Dani, he's Cheyenne. His costume still bears some Braids, Beads and Buckskins influences, including fringed boots (and sometimes a fringed vest) as well as long hair and a headband. Proving that X-Men writers are aware of at least two Native American tribes, there's the Apache brothers Thunderbird and Warpath. Thunderbird's costume had Braids, Beads and Buckskins influences: fringed boots and fringes at the shoulders, and a headband with a pair of feathers. Warpath's original costume was much the same, but his later costumes have discarded those elements. |

When they appear in The Simpsons, Native Americans invariably have braided hair and hats. Except for the "Mohican" who appears in the episode The Bart of War, although, like John Redcorn below, it's implied that this is a conscious use of this trope on his part. | |

An early sequence in Something*Positive showed Aubrey roping her obviously-Caucasian friends into making Native American-themed pornography, which basically consisted of them (briefly) dressing like this trope and using Tonto Talk. Jhim commented that if it ever got released none of them would ever be able to enter a casino again. | |

As Eagle, she wears her hair in a single braid, her earrings get feathers added to them, and her costume has beadwork and the texture of leather. | |

In ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept., Rokkusu District has a possibly more accurate version of this. It seems to be based on southwestern North America. Long hair on men is standard, and the officials wear a cloak that looks like a textile from that region, plus beaded necklaces and feathers. No buckskins. | |

Ruffled Feather (who spoke only gibberish voiced by Sandy Becker) and Running Board from Leonardo's Go Go Gophers. The last two members of the Gopher Indian tribe, they wore feathers and blankets in stereotypical fashion. So did Super Chief and Broken Feather of the Mattel-derived "educational" cartoon The Funny Company. Very educational. | |

Downplayed in The Dresden Files. Joseph Listens-To-Wind uses a fair number of Native American trappings and fetishes in working his magic, wears his hair in a braid, and will on occasion wear an embroidered buckskin shirt. However, Listens-To-Wind was his tribe's medicine man long before Europeans settled around the Great Lakes, and by the time of the novels he has adapted to "white man's ways" as well as most modern Native Americans. For example, he is far more likely to wear jeans and sneakers with his buckskin shirt than leggings and moccasins. | |

The Tauren in World of Warcraft are thinly-disguised shamanistic Native Americans. Cairne Bloodhoof, the now-dead Tauren chieftan, had braided hair, animal-skin body armor, and even a couple of ceremonial head feathers. Almost every other Tauren in the game — players included — has at least one of those. He also wields a giant freaking totem pole as a weapon. | |

Cathy Smith and Larry Belitz went all out to give Dances with Wolves as much accuracy as possible in dress and decoration, weapons, utensils, tipis and the all-important sacred paint (with the exception of Mary McDonnell as Stands-With-a-Fist, who despite being raised by the Sioux from childhood, sports a very 1980s layered haircut, in notable contrast to all the Sioux actresses who have much more period-typical long hair). | |

Played for cringe in The Wedding Crashers, when it’s made painfully obvious that the dresses chosen for the Quiluete women attending Renesmee’s wedding were intended to be more “tribal” in nature, as opposed to the fancier gowns worn by the vampires, with the Winchesters noting that they’re far from flattering. | |

Downplayed on Twin Peaks with Deputy Hawk. He has long hair and is often wearing earrings (although it's worth noting that his actor, Michael Horse, was a jeweler before he got into TV), but is usually seen wearing the same uniform as the other deputies in town. On the rare occasion we see him in civilian wear, he does seem to favour Native patterns, but nothing too ostentatious. | |

The Patch tribe in Shaman King. Possibly justified in that they seem to play to the trope to disguise their status as the keepers of the Great Spirit. See: the Authentic Patch Hand-Crafted [insert noun here]. | |

Most if not all Indian tribes in Lucky Luke follow the same pattern: ugly totem poles, loincloths, adjective-animal names, teepees and raindancing shamans. Of course, it was never meant to be taken seriously. Though there is the occasional subversion, like when a traveller tries to pull off the "shiny glass beads for trade" trick, the chieftain merely says "the paleface is thinking of the wrong continent". | |

Barbie has gone through several Native American editions. Most look like this. That doesn't prevent fans and collectors from designing more authentic outfits for her, and amazingly in 1990 Mattel put out a Tlingit Barbie. Kim Shuk's chapter in Andrew Jolivette's book Cultural Representation in Native America has a whole chapter on Native Barbie pro and con. | |

The "redskins" (Native...somethings, we can go with Americans) from Peter Pan wear feathers in their hair, say "How", and well...any racist stereotype of Native Americans you can think of. As cringey as the depiction may be to modern readers, it may actually be justified In-Universe, as Neverland is the world of imagination. Neverland's "Red Indians" are the kind imagined by small children who like stories about Injun Country, complete with a Pocahontas-esque Indian Maiden named Princess Tiger Lily. Not to mention that the source material was written in England during The Edwardian Era, so some Values Dissonance is to be expected. | |

The people in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The Paradise Syndrome" were supposed to be a mixture of Delaware (Lenape), Mohican and Navajo. The longhouse-type lodge is consistent with Eastern civilizations, but next to it is a Plains-type tipi rather than a Navajo hogan. In fact, there's almost nothing Navajo about any of it. Feathered cloaks are Aztec, not Native North American. Miramanee and several other characters are wearing headbands and belts — traditional for Eastern tribes — but they're woven of glass seed beads, which were a European trade item. (Never mind the fact that they're strung on elastic thread.) | |

Tonto in The Lone Ranger is a very restrained example wearing a buckskin jacket and trousers rather than breech-clout and leggings and a minumum of beading and fringing. As played by Jay Silverheels (Six Nations of the Grand River (Mohawk)), Tonto was described as a Comanche, who do wear fringed buckskin jackets (often with long fringe for formal occasions), but strip down to loincloths for action. | |

Pick a Shadowrun depiction of a street shaman. Odds are very good they'll be dressed in this way.

Firestorm (DC Comics) villains Black Bison and Silver Deer both fit this stereotype. When his great-grandfather was slain by muggers, John Ravenhair found himself possessed by the old man’s spirit, which granted him super-powers. As a result, he set forth to avenge the white man’s many injustices against his people. As Black Bison, he wears a bison headdress, leather leggings and breechclout, and moccasins. He carries a coup stick he uses to direct his powers, and a tribal shield. Silver Deer is a trained sorceress, martial artist and terrorist seeking to avenge the deaths of her father and brother at the hands of bigoted whites. Her costume is a white doeskin vest with feathers down one sleeve, an Indian headband, a breechclout over trunks, and...fishnets? Her powers include the stereotypical ability to shapeshift into any animal, and the ability to telekinetically influence games of chance) (which various commentators have pointed has Unfortunate Implications in linking her to native American casinos). |

Initially averted by Cometa Azules III, who initially dressed the same way as Cometa Azules I and II, as they trained him for a short term run. After meeting lucha libre legend El Santo, he decided to undergo further training in the Blue Demon's school and was nicknamed "Apache" after he was seen without his mask. Gran Apache decided to make it his gimmick, although still downplayed as he was determined to show people how Apache really dressed, with no interest in playing "cowboys and Indians". | |

Tatanka (Chris Chavis), a member of the Lumbee (North Carolina) tribe, who wrestled in the early 1990s, making his TV debut in 1992 and starting off with an undefeated streak which lasted until 1993, when Finnish wrestler Ludvig Borga snapped the streak. Tatanka had an ongoing feud with Rick Martel, who stole some of his eagle feathers to add to his wardrobe, recovering them at Survivor Series 1992. Sadly, his eagle feathers, as well as his Lumbee chief headdress which was given to him in a ceremony by Chief Jay Strongbow, Chief Wahoo McDaniel, and Lumbee tribe member Ray Littleturtle, were frequently stolen from ringside, with Irwin R. Schyster insisting he paid a gift tax on the headdress, which was desecrated and vandalized. | |

Cernd from Baldur's Gate wears this kind of getup, judging by his portrait. Considering he's comes from Amn (Fantasy Counterpart Culture to Spain) and is supposed to represent a druid (a Nature Hero archetype originating from Celtic mythology), it... Makes no sense whatsoever. Given that Cernd was a man who left his wife and child to run off into the woods and be a druid, one suspects that he's not playing with a full deck. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: Rather than give Chakotay an actual Native American tribe, the writers just made one up and presented a bunch of cliches to go with it. Then due to Robert Beltran's Mesoamerican heritage, they moved this fictional tribe down to Central America. So we have a tribe in the jungle who worship sky spirits (despite only glimpsing the sky), have vision quests (sweat lodges in the jungle?), medicine wheels and medicine bundles, and ancestor worship (more of an Asian practice) and facial tattoos that look more Maori than Native American. It didn't help that Jamake Highwater, their consultant on Native American culture, turned out to be a fraud. | |

Parodied in Cannibal! The Musical. A tribe of Native Americans is actually a group of Japanese people in disguise. When questioned about their race by dubious white travelers, the chief points out the tribe's stereotypical dress and teepees as proof of their ethnicity. | |

Assassin's Creed III Connor Kenway (Ratohnhaké:ton), his village and some of the multiplayer characters embody this trope; understandable because of the time period and setting. Also, all of the outfits worn by characters in the game are authentic Mohawk, as opposed to the mismatch of tribes expected from this trope, and Ubisoft worked closely with several native cultural consultants to make sure to avoid unfortunate stereotypes once they realized that they were all "essentially a bunch of middle-aged white guys". |

T. Hawk, who was introduced in Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. That said, other than the facepaint and feathers he's really just wearing a denim vest and jeans. Extended to the Tabletop Game, too; one of the sample characters (using Hawk's style) has this motif, too. | |

Zig-zagged in RimWorld, where all tribespeople wear either 'tribalwear' or just trousers, which are always made from some kind of natural material, be it deerskin to alpaca wool, but you can end up making the same items from synthread (a futuristic artificial material produced by machines) and you can end up having tribespeople in your colony wearing button down shirts and parkas if you have the required technology. | |

Tatanka from Eyeshield 21 sports war paint whenever he's on the field. He also wears his long hair in a braid. | |

Wild ARMs An odd variation is that Native Filgaians Baskars in (especially the third one) is depicted this way. One of the characters in the party actually look this way, brown skin and feather on the head and all. And he's a very powerful shaman too. Not surprising, since the entire point of the game is to emulate The Wild West, guns n' horses n' all. Even if the Baskars did begin as a religious movement among the multiethnic human colonists of the planet. The actual native inhabitants, the Elw, are more Our Elves Are Different with a few Native American elements. |

Lampshaded and subverted in Transamerica. Toby asks Calvin Manygoats why a Native guy wears a cowboy hat. Calvin points out that it keeps the sun out of his eyes better than a headband and two eagle feathers. | |

Marvel also has Jason Strongbow, a.k.a. American Eagle. Early versions show this character wearing a massive feathered headdress and a costume with a Captain America-esque red, white, and blue coloring. More recent versions have tuned this down, mostly showing him in a black leather jacket, jeans, and either a black hat or motorcycle helmet. He still has long hair, though. | |
