DISPLAY A CHEROKEE TURBAN
ON THE DAY OF HIS SWEARING-IN AS A

freshly tied with each wearing, but it is also offered
"tacked in place" for those not patient enough to develop
the wrapping technique. Also like a necktie, the Wrapping
Hat offers an opportunity to express one's individuality
without getting too far from the ordinary. Turbans provide
a way to add a Tribal flavor to what would otherwise be
mainstream dress. Although choosing the fabrics to make
a wearable, attractive turban is an art, the variety of
cloths available make the Wrapping Hat easily adaptable
to almost any occasion. We have hats suitable for formal
dress banquets and ceremonies, more casual colors and
patterns for outdoor festivals, and "in-between" styles for
Native American art shows and other events said to be
"country club" or "business casual."
FOR THE TURBAN WEARER
lend themselves to removal without the necessity of re-tying,
the proper etiquette for a turban differs from that for a hat.
The only times it is necessary to remove the turban are for
the presentation of the flag, occasions when prayer is offered,
or when entering a church sanctuary; otherwise, one can keep
the turban on and still be displaying proper manners.
