Also known as guising, trick-or-treating has become a favorite tradition for children of all ages during Halloween. And so, they dress up in costumes of all sorts and set out to knock on doors around their neighborhood with the hope of being treated with candy, coins and small gifts.

The exact origins of the trick-or-treating custom is not known, but there is great evidence that point to Ireland, the Emerald Island, where it began with peasants who, in the olden days, collected money, bread cakes, cheese, eggs, butter, nuts, apples, and so on. And all this was in preparation of the St. Columbus festival.

It was believe that refusing to treat those who knock on doors was sure to bring on bad luck and the evil spirits. And if not that, then those who were refused would avenge their denial by playing an assortment of tricks.

How About Bringing Out Your Macho Personality in a Male Indian Costume?

Indian Warrior Adult Standard CostumeMale Halloween Indian Costumes have become increasingly more popular over the years as many more men in our modern society find the need to fantasize about being the hero, the brave and the warrior of their clans.

Happy Hunting!

The roles of men in the Native American cultures were very clear cut but they varied from one nation to another. In the agrarian Indian nations, men were the gatherers of crops and produce while in the nomadic nations, they were the hunters. Simply put, men were expected to bring home the proverbial “bacon.” In all the American Indian nations, men were the warrior who fought in the offensive and the defensive battles, thus they were the protectors.

In contrast, regardless of which Indian nations are viewed, Native American women were always expected to do the cleaning, mending, cook and race children, as well as taking care of the elderly and the sick.
