Clothing
In the area that the Haida people lived, the weather was often warm so little clothing was needed. Women
wore bark skirts. However, the Northwest Coast has a lot of rainfall. Every time it was raining, the
Haida people would need to wear clothing to protect them from the rain such as wool coats and cedar
hats. The coat below is made of goat wool. Not all clothing was made from wool, some of it was in fact
made from cedar wood or bark and animal leather. All clothing was made by the women while the men
went to hunt.
If you were a part of the Haida tribe and your family was one of the wealthiest, you would wear fancier
clothes and jewelry then those that were less wealthy. The Chief/Shaman had the best clothing.
