There are times when the Karankawa Indians wore little or no clothing, especially when the weather was warmer. Since they lived in a rather humid area of Texas, it was easier at times than wearing layers of clothing. Historians say that the children often went naked in the summers and that the men seldom wore clothing as well. Men and women would cover themselves with tattoos for modesty, but often left the clothes for colder days.The men and women of the Karankawa tribe wore different clothing. One thing in common was that both genders usually wore nothing to cover their top half. The men of the tribe would wear plain cloth or deer hide pieces tied around their waists. The women often wore long skirts made of large grass pieces tied together.
