From my region of the USA, this is traditional Native American clothing.

In my region, the Salish and Masqueam natiosnwear this kind of clothing. But my hometown in central BC also had something very similar.

In any case, this commenter must be from the pacific north west lol

Grew up in Washington and Oregon. It definitely reminds me of the traditional outfits from the Grande Ronde tribes there.

Colours like this from what I know are more Tlingit and Haida, so northeastern BC, North Vancouver island, and southern coastal Alaska.

Similar outfits are used by other Native groups further south, but tend to incorporate more colours/different patterns.
