The purpose for how they look is to help survive. They wear moccasins to walk quietly, and they shave half their heads so his hair doesn't get in his bow.

the purposes are, by having his hair cut on the side, his hair doesn't get stuck in his bow string. Also his new moccasins let him be silent while he hunts for food.

Why the Warraskoyack tribe's hair is short on one side and long on the other is so their hair doesn't get caught in their bow. Why they wear moccasins is so they walk quieter and don't scare their prey. They also where the clothes they where so they don't get too hot in the summer.

For the moccasins it's to be quiet to hunt for animals. Also they shaved one side of Samuel's hair so that it doesn't get caught in the bow. Also a powder that doesn't get bugs or sun burns on his body.

They purposes for the way they dress and look is because it will help with their hunting and working.They wear moccasins so they can have quieter feet while they're hunting,shave their heads on one side so they won't get cause in the bowstrings,and they also wear a mixture of bear grease with a powder of red puccoon root to keep the bugs from biting them in the summer.

The reason they dress like that is not to look fancy it has purpose like the red paint they but on their bodies is to keep the bugs off of them, and it also keeps the sun from burning their skin. And the reason they have hair on one side of their head and not the other is so it dose not get caught in their bow string. And the moccasins are so they keep quite when they are hunting!!!

There are reasons for the Warraskoyack to dress in certain ways. There are lots of special types of clothes, the reason why they wear them. First, it's their hair. They cut the right side hair, and leave the left side long. They do that, so that the bow and the arrows don't get tangled on their hair. There are more outfits than these. Some wear animal skinned clothes. It is for the winter days. They wear them to keep their bodies warm in winter.

They dress and look the same so that other non Indian people would think that they are Indian not something else.

He had Moccasins so when he walked he wouldn't make any of noise and he cut his hair so when he shoots the arrow his hair doesn't get caught in it.He was adapting with them by learning what is women and men work and learning how to fish and hunting.

Their purpose is to survive because they wear moccasins to be quiet and they shave the half of their hair so the bows don't get stuck in their hair

When they cut their hair on one side of their head is to keep it out of their bowstring an the red skin is like bug spray the moccasins are to keep him quiet in the snow.

The purpose of how they dress up is to protect them selves. They cut one side of there hair so it doesn't get stuck. They put red powder on there selves so the misquotes wont bite them. For example when they where playing a game like football but with a leather ball there where lots of misquotes that none of them got a bite.

Jenny!!!

Samuel dress like them because the clothes that he was wearing were different. He needed to dress like them so he could work better.
He wore moccasins so his feet would not make too much noise on the snow. He had his hair cut so it would not get into his bowstring.
