American Indian Kilt connection

[Miah]

I'm not sure if this has been posted before or not.
I don't want this to turn into some polital stance on
American Indians or anything like that I just thought this was a very interesting link

That's really cool... they're two cultures that I wouldn't put much association between, but that's a good site. Thanks!

I think a good look would be...
maple leaf tartan (bear kilt)
brown leather sporran (r-kilt)
and Moccasin boots.
can't get much more Canadian than that

There used to be a fellow at the Tulsa Games every year (I assume he is still around and attending games) who was a MacIntosh and a member of the Creek (Muscogee) Nation -- he helped designed the Tulsa District Tartan and was an active member of the Scottish Club there -- his father attended a MacIntosh gathering back in the '60's dressed in a kilt with traditional First Nations dress, and his son did the same as well -- very impressive, and appropriate, since many of the Five Civilised Tribes (Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Seminole) had a large proportion of Scots -- and not just these tribes, but others as well.


Cheers,

I go to a lot of games in NC and there is always a good number of Cherokees at the Foothills and Appalachian Games and Lumbee at the Flora MacDonald games. We sell a shirt that is a blend of SW Native culture and Scottish culture. It is one of our best sellers...
