Why did the Cherokee Indians wear turbans?

When Mankiller, Stalking Turkey, Little Carpenter and other Chiefs went to England the Ministers of King George thought their appearance too rough or severe to be seen by their Monarch. So they had them change into some clothes left behind by a delegation from India. The Chiefs brought the clothing home with them and the Turbans and Jackets became highly prized and worn on special occasions. At first the Cherokee (Tsalagi) made more turbans from expensive trade cloths, but with the introduction of the spinning wheel by George Washington the Cherokee made their own cloth and the Turban became regular head wear. Some of us still wear them to this day.
