Came across these examples on AMICA and thought they might be of interest.

How did you determine that’s what they meant? I couldn’t find any details. I can’t make sense of it if they mean VA Siouan, since nobody we know of was still wearing tribal dress in 1880. Do you get more information and view of a larger image if you subscribe?
Hey Linda,
I’m not subscribed, so can’t answer that part. Came across these while searching for another item. Later, after posting, I realized that “Eastern Sioux” was referring to the geographic term used for Dakota, Santee, and others that would still have been using the items then. It was in something else that I read along the way, but I don’t remember what.
Sorry for the confusion.
Hello all,
The type of turban shown is typical of the “prairie” nations centering in the Upper Midwest area of the country. Dakota branch of the Dakota/Nakota/Lakota was generally referred to as the Eastern Sioux due to their residence in southern Minnesota, northwestern Iowa and eastern half of the Dakota, which was east of the more Plains dwelling “Sioux”.
