I was reading a book recently about the connections shared between Highlanders and First Nations/Native Americans. The book went into detail about many soldiers from Highland regiments remaining on the continent and adopting certain Native dress characteristics while holding onto certain Highland dress aspects. The thought intrigues me to no end and I have been thinking for some time about what this would look like. Which parts of their Highland or Scottish dress would these people have adopted and why? I'm sure practicality had a lot to do with it and was the driving factor in adopting new things and keeping others.
The image I have in my head for kind of a French/Indian war time period kind of goes like this:

Bonnet/Glengarry of some sort
Longhunter shirt
Powder bag/flint/steel/
Kilt with sporran
Buckskin or some other type of legging
Moccasins/Cuarans
Flintlock/matchlock, Sgian Dubh, Dirk etc.

I would love to hear more on this subject from those that have a little more insight and experience in this particular area. Perhaps some of our First Nations and/or Native American members can weigh in on this with personal experience or family history. As always pictures of this type of mixture of culture and cross pollination would be greatly appreciated.
