Shawnee Reference
« on: 31 July 2010, 07:38:37 AM »
I'm needing some Shawnee reference, and have found quite a few warriors but very little in the way of what women and children might have worn.  Does anyone know of any movies accurately portraying a Shawnee village, or any other resources available to someone not able to travel up to Ohio for the museums?
Check out THE CROGAN ADVENTURES, a historical adventure graphic novel series available from your local bookstore or comic shop (or, of course, Amazon).  I make 'em.

I have read a lot of books on various Eastern tribes and there just doesn't seem to be much information available on clothing. For Shawnee from the 1750s-1815-ish  you'd have to assume an increasing amount of trade cloth and shirts. This site seems like it might turn up something useful though: http://www.bigbearsden.org/Links.html

I'm not sure about the Shawnee dwellings, but I know log cabins aren't out of place in the settlements of a lot of their neighbors in PA. I think there might be some descriptions of some of the Shawnee towns in some of Eckert's works.
