Say "Boozhoo" (Hello) to Timmy  

Timmy is dressed in Male Traditional regalia.  On his head, he is wearing a headpiece or roach made of leather and deer tail hair.  

He is also wearing a colorful shirt, a breechcloth around his waist, and slip-on moccasins.  His Plains-style bustle has a round of eagle feathers with two spikes facing upward, representing the circle of life.  

Male Traditional dancers may also carry staffs, shields, or weapons, and may wear leggings.  These dancers move their bodies like birds-in-flight with their feet working heel-toe, heel-toe steps.
