Cherokee men wore breechcloths and leggings. Cherokee women wore
wraparound skirts and poncho-style blouses made out of woven fiber or deerskin.
The Cherokees wore moccasins on their feet. After colonization,
Cherokee Indians adapted European costume into a characteristic style,
including long braided or beaded jackets, cotton blouses and full skirts
decorated with ribbon applique, feathered turbans, and the calico tear dress.
Traditional Cherokee art included pipe carving, rivercane baskets, gourd art, and pottery.
After moving to Oklahoma, the Cherokees
couldn't get the materials they used to use for traditional crafts, so they
concentrated on other crafts like American Indian beading and textile arts.
