The Shawnee tribe, known for their far-ranging heritage, traditionally wore breechclouts and leggings made from deer skins, often adorned with vibrant red or yellow feathers. The name "Shawnee" comes from the word "shawanwa," meaning "southerner," reflecting their historical settlements in Maryland, Eastern Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Florida. A unique characteristic of the Shawnee people includes split earlobes, alongside their distinctive attire. Initially, there were about 12 tribes, though they faced significant decline due to disease.
