[http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Dedication_of_Chief_Seattle_statue,_1912.jpg&diff=93477525&oldid=93378765 Why not costumes]? This was actually the one that triggered me to ask at the Village pump because when I went to call these "costumes" I noticed that category contained a lot of actual Native Americans. But this image ([[:File:Dedication of Chief Seattle statue, 1912.jpg]]) is a group of Seattle newspapermen and businessmen dressed up as Indians. As I wrote there, "Despite appearances, these are not Native Americans, as can be seen from the identifications written onto the photo. They were members of the Tilikums of Elttaes, a civic booster group who used pseudo-Chinook titles." More realistic costumes than most, admittedly, but still, I'd call these "costumes," not "clothing." - [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] ! [[User talk:Jmabel|talk]] 01:40, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

:Hi Montanabw, I went ahead and changed that image back to "costumes," since they are essentially dressing up. Let me know if you don't want it there. Cheers, [[User:Uyvsdi|Uyvsdi]] ([[User talk:Uyvsdi|talk]]) 05:31, 29 March 2013 (UTC)Uyvsdi
