The Mohawks eventually adapted to the European style of fashion which included cloth shirts and blouses, decorated with more beads and ribbons. Also a note, the Mohawks did not wear long headdresses like the Sioux. Mohawk Men wore traditional Iroquois headdresses with their unique insignia (given to each tribe). The women wore beaded tiaras. Iroquois women, like many Native Americans, were honored in their society. Inhertiance fell matrilinealy, and clan mothers were given the right to ordain and remove sachems from the Iroquois Confederacy (Doherty 18). Women were listened to. During the day it was a woman's job to take care of the longhouse.

While we are not a uniform camp and campers can choose to wear what they like, we ask everyone to purchase some Iroquois Springs t‐shirts, shorts and sweatshirts for the times we go on trips outside of camp, participate in inter‐camp games and tournaments, and it makes for some great camp spirit.
Herearea few tipsto help you pack:
1. We recommend the use of two large soft trunks (we cannot permit hard trunks), available on the Everything Camper website. They are superior to the standard camp trunk for storage, durability and ease of handling.

In an effort to emphasize appropriate dress at camp, we ask that campers do not wear bikini bathing suits at camp (tankini’s, which cover the mid-section are acceptable). In addition, we ask that you do not pack items that expose the midriff, short shorts, see through clothing, etc. Campers wearing these items will be asked to change their clothing.
Laundry services are on the camp premises and we ask that you send colorfast items only. Please be sure to wash all items before packing. We recommend wash and wear clothing only. Each camper has his/her personal clothing washed weekly. In addition, linens are washed for campers weekly.

Campers must bring their own bedding (including blankets and pillows). The mattresses at camp are 30 x 72 (cot size), so please buy sheets to fit accordingly. If you are unable to find sheets this size, the size bigger (twin) will suffice.
