Don't know the person, but the outfit definitely looks like West Coast native - Haida, Salish, Tlingit, or something else from the PNW/British Columbia area.
You should check out the portraits of and by Taliban fighters collected by Magnum photographyer Thomas Dworzak http://inmotion.magnumphotos.com/essay/taliban-2009
Well, Stay Golden, it's probably hard for this guy to go out and grab a few bison bones and eagle feathers at the General Store these days. You have to work with what you've got.
He is absolutely a West Coast native, as Anonymous on 8/12 at 8:48am pointed out. i haven't seen the large septum rings before. i think he looks pretty amazing. i bet that headpiece he's wearing is worth a ton.
I'm positive that he's Tlinget. There's photographs in my house with people wearing clothing like this. It looks like something that would be worn to a potlatch.
Samoan!!! I am from Hawaii & we have a large Samoan population. Please resist the compulsion to pull an underfed rabbit out of your ass if you haven't the faintest idea of what you're talking about.
I just got back from alaska and i KNOW that is a Tlingit Person: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic-art/171379/92946/Kiksadi-clan-members-wearing-traditional-Tlingit-regalia

Samoan?
Beyond AWESOME!
This one leaves me without words...
It's got to be annoying, keeping that nose ring out of the way while eating.

Annette,
I am Samoan and I have NEVER seen anything like that.
My first instinct was Native American.

Assaltou um Museu??!!!!
yes he is definitely Northwest Coast native style, my guess is Tlingit
But people, the most important thing is...he's sexy.
Tlinget. I'm 99% sure that is it. My grandparents have old traditional clothes like this.

Was going to say Tlingit also. 99% sure.
Looks like one of those Frida Kahlo's self-portraits.
