*Speculative. We don't have surviving examples of anything from the period, and we've got almost no good pictures or descriptions. Some of this is based on modern day regalia, some of it is based on historical examples from other cultures, some of it is based on stuff from the 1700s. A lot of it uses modern materials rather than historical. It is also the best I can do with my current budget, it would be great to go around in a buffalo robe but money money money. On the subject of sealskin, there are of course no seals this far inland, but sealskins were a highly prized trade good because of how water resistant they are and how nice the fur is. They were often purchased from the Mi'kmaq. I am the first to admit that beaver or muskrat would be more representative, but this isn't wrong per say, just unusual, also money money money.
