WHAT CUSTOMS DID TEQUESTA TRIBE WEAR, what they believed in , and what festivals did they celebrate?
tequesta tribe is a native american tribe. i need their clothing, what they believed in, and what festivals did they have.
According to Wikipedia, Tequesta's clothing was minimal. The men wore a sort of loincloth made from woven palmetto leaves, while the women wore skirts of Spanish moss or plant fibers hanging from a belt. By one account, when the Tequestas buried their chiefs, they buried the small bones with the body, and put the large bones in a box for the village people to adore and hold as their gods. Another account says that the Tequesta stripped the flesh from the bones, burning the flesh, and then distributed the cleaned bones to the dead chief's relatives, with the larger bones going to the closest relations. The Tequesta men consumed cassina, the black drink, in ceremonies similar to those common throughout the southeastern United States. Tequesta worshipped a stuffed deer as the representative of the sun, and as late as 1743 worshipped a picture of a badly deformed barracuda crossed by a harpoon, and surrounded by small tongue-like figures painted on a small board. There was also a god of the graveyard, a bird's head carved in pine. The painted board and bird's head were stored in a temple in the cemetery, along with carved masks used in festivals. By this time the tribe's shaman was calling himself a bishop.
