Indian Costume

I have to wear an Indian costume to school on Friday .. Does anyone have any ideas?

Find costume shop in Indian costume, and wear lots of beads and feathers. Also, wear a pair of moccasins

entitled to all who keeps saying "Indian" is inappropriate terminology, who cares? Its just a word. I am technically white, but I am called everyday white. Nobody really cares. and the costume, just go to a costume shop, Halloween Express is a good place to go for costumes. Report Abuse

WOW such a response. I live in Oklahoma where there are plenty of reserves and many Indians live so I called my Indian friend about an answer given to you. She said, yes she is an Indian and an Indian. But when schools are referring to Thanksgiving, they use the word Indian. So please do not respond the way someone mentioned to your teacher.
I am not sure of your age but I remember when I was younger, a paper bag was great for the vest with drawings and such on it and you can make a simple hairstyle "construction paper . Make a band around your head that cut the feathers or the use of real feathers and basis of. Good luck!

Ok First the word "Indian" is only usable if you speak to people of India. Native American is the proper terminology. I do not know if you heard the word of a teacher at school, or for that matter, where you go to school, but hopes that the teacher is no longer correct terminology. I live in Western New York and there is a large population of Indians and also reserves in this area. None of them wear head dresses and feathers. I have a professor who is Native American and she wears jeans and shirts. If I were you, I would say this to your teacher and wear regular clothes to school ....

Oh, something else to add ...
When I was in primary school they called sitting "legs crossed" Indian style. It is more correct terminology is.

go to a costume store

Most people assume that you are looking for traditional Indian clothes to wear. Do a little Internet research on the tribes that were native to your region and that their traditional clothing like then head of the local resale shop change clothes at low prices in your costume Native American. A last resort would be to get a generic Hollywood version of Native American dress.

pen, or the point?
