Detailed explanation-1: -Seminole dress with turbans and feathers, hunting shirt or jacket and leggings are often part of their costume that look similar to the Scottish wear. Chief Osceola, who led the Seminoles against the U.S. Army in Florida, apparently had Scotch blood as his mother’s grandfather, James McQueen, was a Scotsman.
Detailed explanation-2: -Seminole women wore wraparound skirts, usually woven from palmetto. Shirts were not necessary in Seminole culture, but men and women both wore poncho-style mantles in cool weather. Like most Native Americans, the Seminoles wore moccasins on their feet.
Detailed explanation-3: -“Chickee” is the word that the Seminoles use for an elevated house constructed of palmetto leaves and cypress-log stilts. During the early 19th century wars with the U.S. government, the Seminoles built chickees as temporary shelters.
Detailed explanation-4: -They needed a quicker, easier to put up, disposable shelter while frequently moving to different camps. A new era of engineered housing evolved for the Seminoles called the “chickee.” The chickee was constructed with cypress logs and palm thatch leaves woven together by vines or thin ropes.
