I remember seeing photos of American Indians dressed in their own native clothing (buckskin, jewelry, etc), and also wearing tartan. I also remember learning that the Cherokee nation has its own recognized tartan. I did an internet search, just now, but details were sketchy. Does anybody know about this? If the Cherokees have their own tartan, do any other tribes? The Cherokee would have had a lot of interaction with the early Scottish settlers, in the Appalachian mtns. So, it would make sense that they would do this. But other tribes must have had dealings with the Scots, as well.
