Plateau Clothing
What did the Nez Perce people wear?
The Nimi'ipuu men wore long, fringed buckskin shirts, leggings, belts, a breech cloth, and several
types of moccasins. Gloves were also occasionally worn by the men. The feathered bonnet was
also a trait common to the Plains culture. This was popular by the time the Euro-Americans had
arrived. In the cold weather, Nimi'ipuu men wore bison skin robes. Women wore long, belted
buckskin dresses, corn husk basketry hats, and knee length moccasins. the dresses were
decorated with elk teeth, beads made of shell, bone, and later glass, porcupine quills, and
vegetable and mineral dyes. Both sexes painted their faces for certain ceremonies or occasions.
Today Nimi'ipuu wear modern clothing usually purchased in a store. We still wear their
traditional regalia at pow wows, ceremonies, memorials, and special events.
