Cloth acceptable for Native American (7)
I believe the answer is:
chinook
'native american' is the definition.
'cloth acceptable' is the wordplay.
'cloth' becomes 'chino' (chino is a kind of cloth).
'acceptable' becomes 'ok'.
'chino'+'ok'='CHINOOK'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for chinook that I've seen before include "hot wind" , "Warm dry wind of the Rockies - large Pacific salmon" , "Arctic wind" , "O in hock (anag)" , "Warm dry wind of the Rockies and type of helicopter" .)
