America here. We’re odd on that wed have two sets of traditional costume. One would be traditional native American wear, and the other would be cowboy/prairie attire.

Yup, a well-recogized character that by no means dresses traditionally. Granted, depending on the era you went to school, dressing as cowboys or native anericans could be seen (wrongly) as racist, so if it was within the past 10 years I wouldn’t blame them going with the safer option, socially.
