The Menominee Indians didn't wear long headdresses like other tribes. They wore fur caps or peaked hoods, though important Menominee men sometimes wore a feather headdress.
The women wore their hair long, but men, especially warriors, often wore a Mohawk hairstyle or shaved their heads except for a scalplock (one long lock of hair on top of their heads). The men and women both painted their faces with bright colors for special occasions. They used different patterns for war paint, religious ceremonies, and festive decoration.

Most of the Indians wore moccasins - a sturdy slipper-shaped shoe that was made from leather and sometimes decorated in beads.
The Ojibwe moccasins were both the same - there was no left or right.
In the winter they would put rabbit fur inside their moccasins to keep their feet warm.
