Best Answer

The Powhatan people generally wore very little clothing. Very young girls went naked, teenage girls wore only an apron-like deerskin garment with a fringed edge which left the buttocks and upper body bare; Pocahontas dressed like this. Older women sometimes wore a second apron at the back. Their breasts were normally exposed, but they sometimes wore a shoulder-fastened cloak of deerskin.

Both sexes went barefoot, but occasionally swamp-style moccasins were used.

Large, flat pieces of raccoon, otter, weasel, beaver and other skins were made into winter robes; important people wore robes of feathers.

The fantasy image of Pocahontas and her people created by Hollywood is completely false and should be ignored.
