What did the men and women normally wear?
- The men would wear short breetch clothes, that were simaler to a kilt.
- The women wore knee-length dresses which were called mantas. The manta only had fabric holding it on the right shoulder, so the left shoulder was bare.
Did their shoes differ?
- Both men and women wore deerskin moccasins on their feet.
- For dances, rituals, etc., women painted their moccasins white and wrapped white strips of deerskin called puttee around their shins as leggings.
How did the Americans affect them?
- Missionaries didn't think this dress style was modest enough, so in the 1900's many Tigua women started wearing blouses or shifts underneath their mantas.
