Although some of my mother’s family is part of the Indian tribe Haliwa-Saponi, I did not grow up around the culture or Native American relatives, I do not identify much with the percentage that is in me, and I did not attend a pow wow until a few years ago. I have grown to admire it and have noticed, like everyone, that tribal prints and Native American inspired designs have become increasingly popular.
In this post are a couple photos I took at the pow wow in 2009, and a few of the many Indian-inspired clothing articles and accessories I have come across. By many I mean I seriously had to narrow it down – fashion is full of tribal prints and Native American symbols lately. I’ve been looking into this trend for quite a while.

I love the colors in your photos! They are great inspiration. I really like the feathered earring trend right now- I think I want to grow my hair a bit longer before i wear them though!
Cheers!

I love this trend, but I would probably look so awkward if I tried to pull it off. I don’t feel like it is really my style, but I am super obsessed with stalking pictures of bloggers who actually can wear it without looking like a fool. The bright colors are amazing!

I’ve always admired Indian pattern and Indian inspired clothing and accessories. My great-grandmother lived in Oklahoma and I still have this amazing beaded coin purse and necklace I got as a kid.
The colors are what attracks me I think.
Nice post!

I love the colors and think it’s cool that you have spent time getting to know your heritage. I like the trend and have always loves the feather earrings and what not and have several pair.

Loving all of the tribal trends! I did not know that you were Native too!! Cool! We have what we call “Indian Days” in my home town were it is like a week long festival (parades, food, talent shows, pow wows)! Its awesome! Kiah
I love the tribal trend. It can be boho or different/rebellious looking. I actually did both styles one after another, lol. (:
PS: I really do love your blog!
i love tribal & ikat prints. The top 2 photos especially are lovely.
