Does anyone know anything about Native American regalia?

My late husband was Native American and competed in Powwow's (before we met). Right before he died, he wanted to sell his regalia but never got the chance. It's been a few years now and I am ready to sell his regalia but have no clue what any of the costumes are called so that I can place an ad and sell them if possible. Can anyone help?

Try to use an App like Google Lens. Use it to take a photo of each item and it will may provide information about each piece. Youre correct in using the term regalia. Dont call it a costume...its offensive and demeaning . The Native Americans in my State prefer the term Indians. Makes sense since they were here before there ever was an America. I think it just reminds them of the atrocities they endured by the govt...and removes their past prior to their being an America.

@PHlover19701 I do not know of any Native that likes the moniker of "indian".

@PHlover19701 thanks for the corrections. My husband used the term regalia. It's been 10 years since he's died and I just found his regalia.
