A  Plateau beaded hat band is a traditional or inspired piece of Indigenous beadwork from the Plateau region of North America (roughly spanning parts of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and British Columbia). This area includes tribes like the Nez Perce, Yakama, Umatilla, Cayuse, and others known for intricate beadwork.
These hat bands are narrow, decorative strips of beadwork typically worn around the crown of a hat (often cowboy-style or felt hats) as an adornment. They feature geometric patterns, vibrant colors, and sometimes symbolic motifs like arrows, diamonds, crosses, or floral-inspired designs, created using seed beads in techniques such as lane stitch or loom beading.
