Answer 1

The clothing didn't affect their environment, but vice verse: their environment affected the sort of clothing they wore:
"The Nez Perce and other tribes made warm and beautiful vests from animal hides or fabric they traded for.

Vests were useful, easy to make, and often beautifully decorated. Geometric designs were favored, but floral designs were often used, too.

Buckskin was a favorite material. It is made from the hide of a deer. (Buckskin can be made from elk hide, also, but it is much heavier!) First the hide is soaked, then the hair is scraped off using a sharp tool. It's a lot of work to get all the hair off. After the hide is scraped very clean, it's like thin dry leather. It's soaked again overnight in a special mixture to make it soft, like a conditioner, and then it's stretched and pulled and stretched as it dries to make it soft and pliable like a nice suede or velvet fabric. After that the buckskin is smoked -- not like a pipe but a different way. It is hung up above a slow and gentle fire in a lot of smoke for a long time.
The Nez Perce wore breechcloths made of buckskin or other fabric, 12 inches wide and about 6 feet long. They were draped in front and back over a belt at the waist. They were worn by boys and men, and tribes made them in different styles and from various materials.
They also wore leggings made from dearskin. Some Indians used concho shells to decorate their leggings and clothing.
Decorated bands were often worn by the Nez Perce and other tribes on the wrists and arms. They weren't very practical for daily work or hunting, but were worn for ceremonies, feasts, and dances -- and they still are today. These cuffs were usually made from buckskin or rawhide and were decorated with beads, shells, and fringe."

"In the past and continuing today as seen in dance regalia, clothing was made from the dressed hides of various animals, particularly deer, elk, bison, bear, and coyote. What was worn depended upon the season, materials available, and the activity of the wearer. Common clothing included buckskin shirts and leggings often with fringes, breechclouts, mittens, robes, and moccasins. Women often wore long skirts, dresses, and aprons. For special occasions, clothing was decorated with various types of beads, shells, elk teeth, feathers, animal skins, porcupine quills, and other ornaments. Although this practice is not confirmed by oral tradition, Lewis and Clark and other early explorers noted that some Nimíipuu wore a decorative dentalium shell through the pierced septum of their nose; thus the French-Canadian bestowal of the name, "Nez Perce" or Pierced Noses."
