Description: This representation of a Muscogee (Creek) is depicted wearing attire typical of a Southeastern American Indian of his day. By the late 18th century, most American Indians in this region made their matchcoats, gaiters, and turbans from European trade cloths, showing their status. A more formal outfit might include ornamentation such as the symbolic white feather, meaning peace. In times of war, red feathers were worn.
