I wonder if there wasn't also a little bit of the notion that if everyone dressed like Plains Indians, their actual traditions might be a little more hidden (and protected?) from European meddling?
I don't know, but it certainly seems possible.
I think, for example, of all the time we spend in beginning art classes just learning to see what things ACTUALLY look like, instead of what we THINK they should look like, even when we can clearly see that the results of drawing from our warped conceptions of things produces stuff that looks totally alien
