When they began trying to recover it in the early 1900s, no one had memories of their specific ceremonial and daily garb and for most tribes, there were no visual records. So often they used what was known of other tribes' heritage even if they had no relation to their own people.

Around here, when the Miccosukee Indians first having Powwows, they used Plains Indian outfits and head dress. Eventually some anthropologists researched the tribes of this area and found more authentic descriptions and a few illustrations from Florida and they've now reconstructed what seem to be more historically accurate outfits.
