Eagle Feather


Did you know?

If the eagle feather is dropped during a powwow, everything comes to a halt until the feather is honored. Eagle feathers are treasured and precious to Indian people.

Historically and traditionally, it is the right of any wounded warrior to retrieve a fallen eagle feather.

The eagle feather is the spirit of a fallen warrior and can only be matched in power by the same. Recording and photographing such a ceremony is strictly forbidden.
