*'''Agree with Uyvsdi''': To REPEAT: To call Native American traditional clothing a "costume" is VERY Insulting. At pow wows and such, the term "regalia" is the correct word. Otherwise, "clothing" will do just fine. To distinguish what is "traditional" from what is "ceremonial" is a fine line and one that has too much variation from one culture to the next; the information in each individual photo or image can do that bit. This is really a rather critical point; when we are discussing the clothing of Native people of the Americas, at least North America, don't say "costume," period.
