<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 158619, member: 44&quot;]Gee, komo, you are good! Thank you for the detailed explanation. I did look around for other examples finding what you IDed as Iroquois. I did find online at the McCord Museum of Canadian History the mention of one of this style of headdress described as a &quot;Man or woman&#039;s headdress;&quot; however, like you said, most if not 95% of the pics online show these beaded headbands resembling tiaras in shape on women.</p><p><a href="http://www.museevirtuel.ca/edu/ViewLoitDa.do;jsessionid=70DF4693AC9756BCD65811D9680D7B14?method=preview&amp;lang=EN&amp;id=11105" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.museevirtuel.ca/edu/ViewLoitDa.do;jsessionid=70DF4693AC9756BCD65811D9680D7B14?method=preview&amp;lang=EN&amp;id=11105" rel="nofollow">http://www.museevirtuel.ca/edu/ViewLoitDa.do;jsessionid=70DF4693AC9756BCD65811D9680D7B14?method=preview&amp;lang=EN&amp;id=11105</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The following website has a series or CDVs of Iroquois related Native Americans (Senecas, Mohawks,...) in their traditional dress from the late 1800s to early 1900&#039;s. They seem to be Iroquois medicine men with their families working for different medicine companies such as or the Kickapoo Medicine Company, entertainers, etc... No doubt most are staged, but their dress seems realistic. Some have a man holding a rifle. Note the headdress of some of the women with the embroided/beaded bands.</p><p><a href="http://iroquoisbeadwork.blogspot.com/2013/01/iroquois-medicine-men.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://iroquoisbeadwork.blogspot.com/2013/01/iroquois-medicine-men.html" rel="nofollow">http://iroquoisbeadwork.blogspot.com/2013/01/iroquois-medicine-men.html</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ssF1Wkb367s/Ukl3RLwn-KI/AAAAAAAABAc/EqxdVtdtsPo/s1600/11.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
