北美印第安人為了追求美,為了表現勇敢精神,也為了得到神的保佑,極為重視裝飾。通常的裝飾物為野獸的牙齒、骨頭、皮毛以及植物等稍加修飾的自然物。

西北部印第安人常用凶猛的灰熊爪作裝飾品,他們認為佩帶這種裝飾就會具有灰熊的威力和膽量。有些印第安人喜愛唇飾和耳飾,即在嘴唇和耳垂上穿孔,塞以獸牙、獸骨或木棍,以此表示勇敢和忍耐力。

北美印第安人還十分重視頭髮的裝飾。他們根據自己所屬圖騰,將髮式梳理得具有象徵意義。奧馬哈部落屬於鳥圖騰的人,在額頭梳一條小辮,象徵鳥嘴;在頭後留一束頭髮,扮作鳥尾;兩耳還編出兩條辮子,好像鳥翼。

在舉行節慶舞蹈時,北美印第安人最愛戴裝飾品。北美印第安各個部落都有自己獨特的裝飾品和假面具,同時伴以各種顏色塗抹身體和面部。化妝往往模仿圖騰動物,相似的裝飾和共同的舞蹈加強了部落成員之間的認同。
