The chief probably has little in the way of clue over what he should be wearing. More than likely he spends his days in a three piece suit ...
I've been to more than a few pow-wows, and it's actually relatively rare to see dancers, even from local tribes, in anything other than buckskins ... although many of the cherokee lady dancers wear beautiful trade-cloth dresses.
Cloth made from tree bark isn't quite as durable as deerskin anyway.
