A head cannon I've had for a while, is that the Water Tribes had an agreement with the Air Nation to harvest lumber from their lands.

The Air Nation has a bunch of territory on roughly the same latitude as Kyoshi Island, so it stands to reason they've got trees.

The Air Nomads also don't have any good way to transport bulky cargo like grain or stone (sky bison are fast but limited in carrying capacity), so it makes sense that they might make arrangements with their sea-loving neighbors on the poles to trade sustainable lumber harvesting rights for preferential bulk trade agreements.

After Sozin's genocide, the Water Tribes continue their old tradition of harvesting wood for ships from Air Nomad land, but the cultural memory of their previous give and take discourages them from outright taking over the more temperate islands.

boring ATLA discourse: who is mostest abused Zuko or Azula 🥺 vote now! kys if yuou disagree with me

cool ATLA discourse: does the SWT have tundra AND taiga like the NWT does or is the use of wood in Sokka and Katara's village just an animation inconsistency?

I wanted to go a bit more in-depth with this piece that I did for zukka week 2023 because i got inspired to do more insane clothing details. ID in ALT.

Ramble about the influences/inspirations below:

Design inspirations for Sokka's clothing are mainly Inuvialuit and Yup'ik, with Nenets, Tlingit, and Chukchi inspiration for the tassels, patterns, belt and beadwork. I mixed these with the ornaments canon shows us used by the Northern Water Tribe, and also in Legend of Korra. I got particularly excited about drawing from Inuvialuit sources since the tassels we see in canon look like they could be inspired by this. Going beyond canon's animation-friendly colour scheme, I drew from Nenets patterns/embroidery/sashes and Yup'ik beadwork for accent colours. I think in the future I'd like to find ways to incorporate more Tlingit-style patterns since I rarely see them in fanart (which is a shame - they're stunning), but since they tend to be very big I ultimately decided to only include them as a nod in order to keep the regalia recognisable as 'Water Tribe'. I wonder if I could start using Polynesian influences as well?

Zuko's headdress and particularly the shoulder garment and beaded embroidery draw heavily from women's clothing styles of Lê Dynasty Vietnam. The other main influence is men's royal clothing in Tang Dynasty China, and patterns worn by Mongolian Khatun. Since we have a bit more to go on in canon as to what fire nation regalia looks like, I blended that in as well. I got particularly excited about the embellishments on Lê Dynasty clothes because I could give a little nod to Zuko's dragon-fire by adding more colours to the embroidery. In the future I think I'd want to make the Mongolian influence a bit more obvious... perhaps even push the envelope by incorporating some Bashkir designs, though I'm not sure how well that will go.

A drawing of Katara from ATLA, when she becomes a Queen of the Air Nation after marrying Aang

So Katara is definitely gonna wear splashes of blue and yellow often after becoming Queen of Air Nation. I incorporated Ancient Tibetan and Mongol elements into this attire, and also some stylistic nods to Imperial Consort Wencheng of Tibet and Khutulun into this drawing

The braided hairstyle is a reference to a complicated Tibetan hairstyle wjth a beaded headdress

And since Air Nation has nods to Tibetan Empire, and Water Nation has nods to the Xiongnu Empire and Ancient Mongolia, Katara is gonna infuse Ancient Tibetan, Xiongnu and Mongol fashion elements in her wardrobe after she and Aang got married

Wencheng was a spirited and highly intelligent Tang Dynasty Princess, who has a liking for poems and riddles

She isn't a warrior princess like Katara is, but Wencheng is sure more of a spirited/silk hiding steel type

Similarly with Katara, who later on married into Air Nation royalty, Wencheng later on married into Tibetan Empire Royalty ( Air Nation got nods to Tibetan Empire, remember )

And Wencheng becomes a formidable diplomat similarly as Katara has become

Khutulun is one of the many great granddaughters of Genghis Khan and Borte, and a niece of Kublai Khan. A formidable warrior and shrewd diplomat, Khutulun becomes famed for her battle strategy prowess and formidable prowess in Mongol wrestling.
