[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

: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. The masks are definitely not legit, and the "Chilkat robes" look a little thin to really be actually wool robes.
