This is interesting:
"Native Americans took the task of making clothing more seriously than European
settlers. They used primarily animal hides, which they had to hunt, skin and work the hide to the proper softness before it could be made into a shirt, pants, or warm winter coat.
In Native cultures where a girl or woman might wear the same dress for years, dresses
were designed and decorated not only to be aesthetically pleasing but also to give
specific information about the wearer.
Certain symbols on a dress referred to the woman's tribe, her marital status, and, for
example, the prowess of her husband or father as a hunter or trader. Since elk have at
most two eyeteeth, a dress adorned with dozens or even hundreds of elk eyeteeth
signaled that the men in the family were skilled hunters."

Good point. But there was quite a bit of variety depending on climate (for both protection form the elements and what materials were available) and level of prosperity.

It seems that Canada is maybe a Mounte or a native Canadian style outfit. I though it would be like a Davy Crockett hat or something.

National costume of Canada can be seen on band The Cult's early videos, namely in Ian Astbury's outfit. He spent childhood in Canada as ambassador's son so he got acquainted with Native Canadians' life. (*It's not "pirate" style as pinterest.com says.)
