Dakota Sioux 1st feather, birth name 2nd feather, becoming a man 3rd second naming 24 feathers representing each year they sat on the hill doing the vision quest or known as humblest crying for a vision. 27 feathers earned to have a Dakota bonett. All other feathers earned through bravery adoptions sundancing ect. All true chiefs can tell you what every feather means on thier bones. This is how it was explained to me by my elders. Aho
North America was not known as "turtle island" to ALL the tribes of this continent....notice they skip WHY the headdress was so honored, because each feather in it represented a brave deed committed in WAR...usually with other tribes. Men would "count coup" in battle, meaning be the first to touch an enemy (dead or alive) in combat (up to 4 men could count coup on an enemy in the Sioux tribe but in the Comanche they only allowed 2 coups to be counted on an enemy....there were other acts of bravery in combat that could count as a coup as well) When a man had earned enough coups in battle to be able to make a Feather Bonnet (different tribes made their bonnets with different numbers of feathers) the women could make a bonnet for him. A warrior who wore a feather bonnet in battle was REQUIRED to be the first to attack and to always be the closest to the enemy AND the LAST to retreat. If a feather bonnet wearer ran in combat he would be mocked by the other warriors and called "sister" and if the man got angry about it he could be attacked by the other warriors. If a warrior found himself in an impossible position in combat, he could put the bonnet on a bush (because, being "medicine" a bonnet was not to touch the ground) Before retreating. At that point, any warrior brave enough to go and retrieve the bonnet earned the right to wear it. Another way a warrior could end up wearing a feather bonnet is through a warrior society.... The warriors of the society would meet and each would "count coup"---meaning, tell the story of a brave deed he had achieved in combat and then donate a golden eagle feather for the making of the societies bonnet. When enough feathers had been donated, the bonnet was made and worn in combat by an officer of the society The FIRST way to be respectful of the headdress is to Actually KNOW something about it. (and it's NOT just a "native" headdress, it belongs to the culture of Very Specific tribes, so you're Not going to see the Iriqouis, the Seminole, the Modoc, the Navajo, the Hopi, the Cherokee, the Choctaw etc wearing them (at least historically, now days anyting seems to go, )
Thank you for actually knowing sone real facts and not just lio service for likes and shares. I really hate when these important aspects of our culture are dressed up to look pretty but never actually giving any real truth to what's being asked. I like this channel but it really fell short when trying to enlighten others on this subject. I am looking for more than just "it's probably not a good idea to wear it as a costume" I'm looking for the meaning behind being bestowed with a headdress as I just seen that the pope was gifted one on his trip to Canada today. I'm offended and want to know if I'm justified in feeling this way. Is it wrong to think that the pope is the last person to be gifted with such an honorable piece of our history??? I'm all for truth and reconciliation, but the first part of that lays in The Vatican's courtyard with the names of all who wronged our people.
rescued over 70 bald Eagles and half survived - did this for free over a 17 year time frame - you think me deserve the honor of a bald Eagle headdress - just about finished creating the Eagle bone Brest plate or chest plate as some would say - took 200 Eagles to make the front - 150 to make the back and 50 to make the 2 sides - will post some videos and photos of it finished - Eagles will be returning next few weeks and the work looking for sick Eagles in the forest will start again - rescued 10 last season - so far rescued over 70 past 16 years - love your videos
I'm Cambodian I've always liked how the native American head dress looks the more feathers the cooler and have always wonder how I can have one.. well after watching this video, guess I should never have one.. thanks for educating me.
Hollywood for most people like myself would have been my first contact with Indian culture. Cowboys and Indian were almost mythical to us as Robin hood was. It cast the native American as an marauding savage, when infact the opposite was true. I have a deep love and respect for my Indian cousins and culture. We stayed on the reservation of the Tsutina nation in Calgary for the period of an indigenous gathering in 20002, it was an absolutely fascinating experience and will always remember. We were humbled by the treatment we received on the reservation. Thanks for sharing, from Aotearoa, New Zealand.
These videos are nice for me to help me understand our tribal beliefs and customs and traditions grandmother used to tell me too get back in touch with the old ways to bring back the balance then she is right I wouldn't listen why I was younger but now I am. Even though I'm far away from the bones of our ancestors I have a lot to learn
I've always wondered about the traditional head dress if it is a form of rank within indigenous the tribe. I have never seen one in person, but knowing some tribal members have a long head dress I can appreciate what that person went through to accumulate that many feathers.
Native Americans are a different people from the American Indians. The native have ancestors from other lands. The American Indians are the indigenous who were here long before Native americans aka the black or colored people. This land is part of the West India when East India was known as Hindustan on old maps.
Perfect PEACE! Though my great grandmother was full Blood “BlackfootedBlackfeet” ,an actual Headdress only pictures I have seen! Now at 69,I’m urged to receive the one that is mine! Many thanks!
Wearing a head dress as a non native is not just cultural misappropriation, it's stolen valor and should be against the law. It's already highly offensive for a non veteran to wear a uniform, especially a commissioned officers. The same should apply to a native Americans head dress.
Awe, the Native American HeadDress which is also worn by Egyptians and other Black Tribes. There are many different kinds of headdress that hold different meanings. Headdress made of Eagle feathers symbolizes war. Headdress made of Porcupine symbolizes a very good warrior. Then there's the very well known Swastika (Black Sun) headdress made of colorful Parrot feathers. This headdress is worn by Aborigenal Sea Navigators during major migration waves. The reason why it's called Black Sun is because when flocks of parrots migrate they form a large wheel shape in the sky called a Black Sun. Hence the name of their navigator tool Swastika (Schwarze Sonne). Hilarious how today it's used as a symbol or badge for White Supremacy when it's like stamping Aborigenal Negro on the forehead of a none mixed person, none Aborigenie (White). All Native Americans are considered Europoids or Black people because European Aborigenals were all Mauren (Blacks/N word/ or Mestizos/ or mixed people) that left the region in waves as they migrated to America from Europe by way of Iceland, to Faroe Island and then to America. Later they were categorized as Negriods. Nonetheless, to this day almost all Europeans still identify as Weiszen Mauren (White Blacks) with no connection with American Whites or non mixed White Americans because they are non Aborigenie.
Thank you so much for this informative video. I came across what I believe is an authentic native headdress at an op shop in Canberra Australia yesterday. I immediately fell in love with it, it is magnificent and has such power. It effected me. I could feel the gravity of its significance. I felt a real reverence for it and wondered what it is doing so far away from it's homeland. A part of me desires to have it in my life but I'm not sure if that would be appropriate. I would very much appreciate your advice as to whether or not it is appropriate for me to buy this piece. Warmest regards Sue e
I was asked to stand in for an elder who was being honored for his work. But I felt that because I come from a nation that normally doesn't use head dresses. Little did I know I did him a dishonor by not wearing it
Wonderful work, although I see some negative comments, these are nothing more than atrocity literature to justify their wrongdoings against native tribes, I totally loved your work, this is the second video I am watching
Thank you so much for your support. We always seem to have a few "haters" but that's the way the internet goes it seems :) We appreciate your kind words :)
Your videos are beautiful and I learn so much. Please always focus on only the positive things ppl leave in comments and let this great energy lift you up. What you are creating in these lessons and in your business make a positive impact in people's lives and though I do not know you personally, I am so happy and proud of your successes thus far. You've accomplished more in your short life than many people will in their entire existence. Never quit and never let someone tell you you can't!
i'm a retired powwow dancer and i'm not sure who told you that made of man are not permitted to wear headdress but that is not true any warrior can wear a headdress a lot of warriors and pow wow dancers make their own headdresses i'm not sure who is told you that that Warriors are not permitted to wear a headdress that's not true any native american dancer is allowed to make their own headdress no traditional native american gets upset because a person makes their own headdress i have made headdresses and i've gotten a lot of compliments on the headdresses that i make so when you talk about headdresses i have a suggestion research before you say because telling people that native american dancers and warriors are not permitted that wear headdress that's not true you have been misinformed no disrespect intended
Thank you for this video I was always wanting to headdress just to honor my Cherokee Nation heritage but now since I know I have to earn it or I have to be honoured with it I have second thought but thank you
Hi , I’m apache and what i’ve been told & researched over the years is that our tribe doesn’t wear warbonets/ headdresses is that true ? also i thought women do wear them sometimes but it was really rare only if they showed a really true brave act for their tribe
Alex speaking speech on the headdresses I'm Cherokee Indian are Cherokee Native American and I agree nobody to disrespect the headdress or the person wearing it
Hello. Love your videos! Can you please make a video talking about the paint the Native American used on different part of their bodies. Would be interesting to know. Cheers ☺️🌟
I have become fascinated in the history and culture of the native american people. I would like to make a headdress for my art coursework as I have included native american culture in my coursework so far, would it be disrespectful to make a headdress for the intention of art?
Who can tell you what your intentions on your art work is? People's feelings are just those. As long as you know what it's about and respect it as a piece of a culture. What else matters? You made it. It's not stolen. It's more or less an effigy or like you said art work. Anyone can be offended by anything. It's not our job to appease everyone's feelings. If it was. Well look at Australia.
I don't believe it would be taken as offensive if you were to include a bit of literature to explain how you came to make it. Either to honor our cultural artifacts and ways or to say it was a respectful insight into your own vision of the headdress. I would love to see your vision of our headdress when it does become a reality 💕🙏☺️ and remember, it you are not of indigenous ancestry, then you can call it Indigenous Inspired but not Indigenous Created or Made 👍
ALL tribes had many different kinds of headress....this ONE is specific to PLAINS INDIAN tribes pretty much exclusively to be even slightly specific this kind of headdress COULD be called a Feather Bonnet...needless to say each tribe would have their own word for it in their own language There were also Buffalo Bonnets and headdresses made of otter skin....Every tribe of the thousands across this country had their own, very different, kinds of headdresses. Again, this would primarily been used by Plains Indian tribes, Blackfeet, Crow, Sioux, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Kiowa, and Comanche! (The Comanche seemed to use fewer of them and seemed to use the Buffalo Bonnet more often)
I read some of the comments and am very sad. Of course this video does not represent every indigenous person around the world nor does the headdress. Everything we see is sacred to someone in one way or another. There is no one upping to this. Take away what you will but do not disrespect or be egotistical in doing so. We all have stories, it is how we teach and learn by oral tradition.
This video didn't actually inform me on the specific meanings of any headdress. Was the difference in looks between tribes a matter of artistic interpretation or was there a reason for why headdresses looked different? Did members of the same tribe all wear the same headdress? Did specific feathers mean soecific things? Notches in feathers or paint to indicate specofic reasons for being earned? Etc.....

I have a question regarding a headdress. The side pieces by the temple, can you tell me what the significance of that piece is especially when it's a round piece and has beaded turquoise there. Thank you. I was doing a drum journey for the white wolf and saw that headdress in my quest.
In our country where we celebrate United Nation Month in October. It's not considered Misappropriation. It's celebrating our diversity . We got to dress up like people from all around the world, including but limited to native American costumes. It's sometimes too taxing to entertain adverse reactions where there shouldn't be unless otherwise used in malicious manner.
when i see videos like this i understand that some north American people lost there past i understand that the headdress was mint to represent sprite or grate leader ship a person that can feed and lead his people thats why it has eagle feathers the eagle can lead you to water and fish to feed the people so the eagle is above all things
For the women feather in the hair, some have one or two. And either one is straight up alone, or two feathers, one straight up and one going sideways, does it mean something?, i always wonder about that.
Turtle Island? I would be interested in leaning about how and why you callout this. It seems I am watching a video of yours every day. Keep it up young lady, I am a teacher in my own craft - I enjoy being taught about my ignorance so I can improve myself.. I want a pair of moccasins, they're far better than slippers. Give me a month or so - I over spent this month, lol. I can't find moccasins on your website. I recently had a brain injury, so things are MUCH SLOWER now. If you can send me link, I'll do some shopping. Thanks again daughter....
Thank you so much for your kind words! Turtle Island is a creation story, unfortunately we don't have any videos on this but if you search "Turtle Island creation story" you should be able to find some more information about the topic. We have sold out of our moccasins on our online shop, if you are still looking for a place to purchase them I would suggest a local powwow or you can find some online at Manitobah Mukluks website :)
Thanks for your question. You have to be indigenous and have been doing lots of work for your community for a very long time. Typically, only chiefs receive a head dress and have earned every single feather on it. :) There are different types of regalia for different men's dance styles and "head dresses" are made to suit that style but the aren't a chiefs head dress so to speak.
*Yes. My father says he has an authentic headdress. I plan on buying a pair of those Mocs of your wall so email and I will see if I can get you more info*
Forgive me for asking a silly question, why did earlier white Americans call the the First Nations redskins? Chinese and Japanese people were also call yellow skins, when in fact their skin tone is more olive toned. I haven’t seen any red skinned people either. I see beautiful people, in looks, spirit or personality around me. As well as watching the pow wows and dances, I love watching the Zaouli dance from the Ivory Coast
Some Orientals do indeed have a yellowy tone. The Western Indians called white men "paleface" for obvious reasons of subjectivity. So whites noticed that they had a tendency towards redness. I think it also depends on the tribe. I know a full Iroquois who looks Mexican, but his Iroquois wife is suuuuuper pale white with very red hair. Her skin is almost as white as marble. His is leathery. Probably some Irish or Jewish genetics in her.
Hi there! The earliest beads were made of a variety of natural materials which, after they were gathered, could be readily drilled and shaped. Hope this answers the question!
The Aztec Headdress are stunning wonderful also! The feathers Aztecs wear are from Pheasants or macaws. Wait, are those moccasins at the back for display?
So true! They are very beautiful. We have a store in Curve Lake Ontario tribaltradeco.com/ where this video was filmed. These are the mocs we have for sale. :)
Is it possible for someone who's not native but who have integrated into their nation like an immigrant to get a headdress while doing a lot of good stuff for the nation they live in? (Just like people from non British descent CAN get British knighthood). I doubt so but if it did happen it would've been so cool!
The only person who can tell you that you cannot appropriate a culture is the person who has not appropriated any other culture. We live in the free world. Such a person does not exist. Enjoy the vibrancy of multi-culturalism and ignore the hateful propaganda. In other words, Natives have enjoyed the pleasures of indoor air conditioning, plumbing, blue jeans, casinos and beer for quite a while now and nobody has complained. I see lots of folk burning the American flag however, and to me it's the equivalent of taking a headdress out in public and burning it to showcase hatred. Have pure intentions in what you do, and you're fine. In fact, I wish more people would create art out of love for other cultures without fear of being accused. I've been to many schools that will not teach about Katsina dolls and I think that's just a stupid shame.
@@ataart1743 I don't think it's the same thing tho, because those aren't cultural practises, they're scientific discoveries. And I think the specific problem is that native Americans find it disrespectful to their culture to do this, and while other ethnic / national groups may not, there could be other things that would be extremely disrespectful to them (White Americans, Europeans, Asians, etc). And I think the main problem is that those cultural items have been constantly misrepresented as caricatures and also because stuff like headdresses are sacred, I don't think they'd care that much if it was something less sacred like idk moccasins or the wendigo story
I always rooted for the Indians in those old cow boy films they were so much more colourful vibrant and better then john Wayne Robert Mitcham and the rest sitting bull and chief scar they were bad ass
Was recommended your video today. I am a Nez Perce Indian in Washington state. I received it when my father passed it down to me after he passed away. Before my dad passed, he asked me to be a Warbonnet carrier and I said yes. I was in the US military over 25 years and did 5 combat tours when I served. We did the warbonnet ceremony at my dad’s memorial.🇺🇸🦅🪶 ***edit*** I never thought I would be carrying a warbonnet and I never asked about it. I guess my dad thought I should have it and carry on with it.
Yes I have to myself one of my headpieces is short one as you would normally see on Indians and I have one that goes down halfway to my legs the tribe it would usually wear this headpiece would be the Dangerous comanches
Are you native yourself? I'm really curious if I should actually trust you. A lot of this stuff is true but you didn't mention things like how not all tribes actually wear/wore headdresses. You should be specific about what tribes this information is applied to. The small details of the headdress can vary between the tribes that wore them and is not general to all native Americans.
Hi! Yes I am anishnaabe from Curve Lake First Nation. My more recent videos I introduce myself better 😁. We try to keep our videos brief as people don’t like watching long drawn out videos. We have much for detailed information on our blog if you’d like to check it out sometime!

@@lordvonmanor6915 what in the world are you talking about, and what does it specifically have to do with my comment? I appreciate the work that went into the comment, but why...
@@eliseang86 Just passing on what the various dresses stand for. You mentioned not all tribes wore headdresses. In many cases they did and may have abandoned some rituals over time.
I'm wanting to design a character based on the Native American headdress. This character has a headdress made of plastic blades he found in an apocalyptic gift shop to spite his father. Unfortunately, I don't want to make any mistakes; I want to use this character to address cultural appropriation in a subtle way, until the plot twist. I've had this character in my head for a while. He has a sister. I researched something about Native American naming systems, but I'll have to research that again at a later date. I have no idea which clan or culture this character is based off of. I gave two names to him and his sister: Apenimon Lokni and Alona Ahmik. I'm open to ideas to better represent the problems with the broadcasted degradation of your culture and history. So the twist is either: Apenimon and his sister are liars, feigning their background to get into a prestige school. Or, Apenimon is truly of indigenous descent of a tribe that I'll research more of, but is wearing a fake headdress because he despises his father/clan/or family. Alona will always be Oriental, because she is not related by blood to Apenimon and is only pretending to be his sister for "plot reasons". I will totally scrap this character if he doesn't make the cut. And I would totally love to understand more about indigenous wear. Though I suppose Native Americans can wear clothing from any brand just like everyone else, right? I might not proceed with this character's story. If this triggers you, then that's good. All the more reason to comment and let me know, so I can consider some plot points. Something worrying to note: he has white skin and fuzzy cotton hair, with a blade of hair that's shaped like a lightning bolt.
Don't use the lighting bolt, that symbol belongs to the wakyia's. Other wise known as the clowns. That symbol has sacred powers to Souix nation and would be of greater disrespect to the people. Just a heads up. If you like there's not much out there on them but research Hayoka before you try to use a lighting bolt. Food for thought and good luck with your store
Hi there, wow thanks for this comment! Sounds like you are such a creative thinker and we appreciate you taking the time to inquire about approaching these characters in a respectful way. We don't specifically specialize in Indigenous headdresses so it is difficult for us to advise. However, if you want to learn more about appropriation in general and how to avoid it, check out this video th-cam.com/video/SGFubjgKNzc/w-d-xo.html!
The headdress of the Northern plains tribes, which is the eagle feather bonnet, is considered the most exquised, magnificent, and regal of all tribal head coverings around the world, it is instantaniously recognized globally, as a distinct symbol of the N. American Indian.
HI Dale great question! Indigenous culture values honesty and community - in most cases the community would know who has earned one since it is a GREAT honour
I was recently appalled when I walked past a clothing store in Florida that was using head dresses on their mannequins. I reasearched the store and who owns it… not a Native person.
See, this is why there are women displaying these head dresses in a sexist manner. I thought that to be disrespectful to the whole meaning of what a head dress really is. But today you have sexy modals waring colorful head dresses.
Headdress is not a Diné way. It belongs to the Comanches and kiowas or should I say the Plains Warriors. To me Headdress is for battle against the HEATHENS.........

Have you seen an authentic native headdress before?
not as long as i remember so far, out of some videos... tks for all of these useful teachings :)
And yes I attended several pow wows in my youth but never appreciated the headdress' significance. I am in awe after watching this and compelled to learn more about them!
Yes I have
I haven't! I would love to see one someday!
There's none because all the original headdress came from out of Africa.
Dakota Sioux
1st feather, birth name
2nd feather, becoming a man
3rd second naming
24 feathers representing each year they sat on the hill doing the vision quest or known as humblest crying for a vision.
27 feathers earned to have a Dakota bonett.
All other feathers earned through bravery adoptions sundancing ect.
All true chiefs can tell you what every feather means on thier bones.
This is how it was explained to me by my elders. Aho
Thank you for sharing Justin!
Sounds like a very good explanation.
2nd feather, becoming a man, at one time back was that called the dog feast or white dog ceremony?
I also heard women were never allowed to wear one. Is that true? If so I'm no offended.
One feather means, one survived battle. The more feathers, the more experienced warrior, it's like the medal plates worn in a general's chest today.
North America was not known as "turtle island" to ALL the tribes of this continent....notice they skip WHY the headdress was so honored,
because each feather in it represented a brave deed committed in WAR...usually with other tribes.
Men would "count coup" in battle, meaning be the first to touch an enemy (dead or alive) in combat (up to 4 men could count coup on an enemy in the Sioux tribe but in the Comanche they only allowed 2 coups to be counted on an enemy....there were other acts of bravery in combat that could count as a coup as well)
When a man had earned enough coups in battle to be able to make a Feather Bonnet (different tribes made their bonnets with different numbers of feathers) the women could make a bonnet for him.
A warrior who wore a feather bonnet in battle was REQUIRED to be the first to attack and to always be the closest to the enemy AND the LAST to retreat.
If a feather bonnet wearer ran in combat he would be mocked by the other warriors and called "sister" and if the man got angry about it he could be attacked by the other warriors.
If a warrior found himself in an impossible position in combat, he could put the bonnet on a bush (because, being "medicine" a bonnet was not to touch the ground) Before retreating.
At that point, any warrior brave enough to go and retrieve the bonnet earned the right to wear it.
Another way a warrior could end up wearing a feather bonnet is through a warrior society....
The warriors of the society would meet and each would "count coup"---meaning, tell the story of a brave deed he had achieved in combat and then donate a golden eagle feather for the making of the societies bonnet.
When enough feathers had been donated, the bonnet was made and worn in combat by an officer of the society
The FIRST way to be respectful of the headdress is to Actually KNOW something about it. (and it's NOT just a "native" headdress, it belongs to the culture of Very Specific tribes, so you're Not going to see the Iriqouis, the Seminole, the Modoc, the Navajo, the Hopi, the Cherokee, the Choctaw etc wearing them (at least historically, now days anyting seems to go, )

@@elsiecormier213 I agree with you about the Pope. Politics, the politicians and actual reality are VERY far apart.
Oh well
im not native american but I love watching your videos and learning about indigenous people! :)
So glad to hear that Hannah! Thanks for watching 😊❤
rescued over 70 bald Eagles and half survived - did this for free over a 17 year time frame - you think me deserve the honor of a bald Eagle headdress - just about finished creating the Eagle bone Brest plate or chest plate as some would say - took 200 Eagles to make the front - 150 to make the back and 50 to make the 2 sides - will post some videos and photos of it finished - Eagles will be returning next few weeks and the work looking for sick Eagles in the forest will start again - rescued 10 last season - so far rescued over 70 past 16 years - love your videos
Thanks for the Video now I a little better understanding about the head dress
those mocasin shoes in the back ground are lovely
Thank you, Stanley! 😊
Thank you for this information I'm glad you exist :)
Thank you so much! That means alot ❤️
I'm Cambodian I've always liked how the native American head dress looks the more feathers the cooler and have always wonder how I can have one.. well after watching this video, guess I should never have one.. thanks for educating me.
Thanks for your comment!
thanks for respecting the rules of how to get one. I'm native Indian but I don't deserve one either... thanks again
Hollywood for most people like myself would have been my first contact with Indian culture. Cowboys and Indian were almost mythical to us as Robin hood was.

Even though I'm far away from the bones of our ancestors I have a lot to learn
mothergoose9s this makes us so happy to hear! We are glad our videos can help you reconnect
I've always wondered about the traditional head dress if it is a form of rank within indigenous the tribe. I have never seen one in person, but knowing some tribal members have a long head dress I can appreciate what that person went through to accumulate that many feathers.
Each feather on ones headdress is earned and therefor in a way to let people know how much this person has done for their community.
@@MalloryRoseCo 🙏
The Native North American Meshika or what people would recognize as the Aztec headdress are awesome.
I will have to look at those!
Native Americans are a different people from the American Indians. The native have ancestors from other lands. The American Indians are the indigenous who were here long before Native americans aka the black or colored people. This land is part of the West India when East India was known as Hindustan on old maps.
Perfect PEACE! Though my great grandmother was full Blood “BlackfootedBlackfeet” ,an actual Headdress only pictures I have seen! Now at 69,I’m urged to receive the one that is mine! Many thanks!
Thanks to you for sharing!!!
Thankful am I for your so caring!
Wearing a head dress as a non native is not just cultural misappropriation, it's stolen valor and should be against the law. It's already highly offensive for a non veteran to wear a uniform, especially a commissioned officers. The same should apply to a native Americans head dress.
I haven't thought about it that way, but that makes a lot of sense! And I completely agree with you! Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Awe, the Native American HeadDress which is also worn by Egyptians and other Black Tribes.
There are many different kinds of headdress that hold different meanings.
Headdress made of Eagle feathers symbolizes war.
Headdress made of Porcupine symbolizes a very good warrior.
Then there's the very well known Swastika (Black Sun) headdress made of colorful Parrot feathers. This headdress is worn by Aborigenal Sea Navigators during major migration waves.
The reason why it's called Black Sun is because when flocks of parrots migrate they form a large wheel shape in the sky called a Black Sun. Hence the name of their navigator tool Swastika (Schwarze Sonne).
Hilarious how today it's used as a symbol or badge for White Supremacy when it's like stamping Aborigenal Negro on the forehead of a none mixed person, none Aborigenie (White).
All Native Americans are considered Europoids or Black people because European Aborigenals were all Mauren (Blacks/N word/ or Mestizos/ or mixed people) that left the region in waves as they migrated to America from Europe by way of Iceland, to Faroe Island and then to America.
Later they were categorized as Negriods. Nonetheless, to this day almost all Europeans still identify as Weiszen Mauren (White Blacks) with no connection with American Whites or non mixed White Americans because they are non Aborigenie.
Most people associate nordic runes with Nazism and this is cultural appropriation as well
Nazism is stealing indigenous European culture as well
Very few indigenous Europeans left in this world
The moment i saw your face, it gave me an instant positive vibe.
Chi Miigwetch for your kind words!
@@MalloryRoseCo you replied ❤
I love your shoes in the background.
I love your videos I subscribe to you
Thank you so much for this informative video. I came across what I believe is an authentic native headdress at an op shop in Canberra Australia yesterday. I immediately fell in love with it, it is magnificent and has such power. It effected me. I could feel the gravity of its significance. I felt a real reverence for it and wondered what it is doing so far away from it's homeland. A part of me desires to have it in my life but I'm not sure if that would be appropriate. I would very much appreciate your advice as to whether or not it is appropriate for me to buy this piece. Warmest regards Sue e
I was asked to stand in for an elder who was being honored for his work. But I felt that because I come from a nation that normally doesn't use head dresses. Little did I know I did him a dishonor by not wearing it
Wonderful work, although I see some negative comments, these are nothing more than atrocity literature to justify their wrongdoings against native tribes, I totally loved your work, this is the second video I am watching
Thank you so much for your support. We always seem to have a few "haters" but that's the way the internet goes it seems :) We appreciate your kind words :)
Your videos are beautiful and I learn so much. Please always focus on only the positive things ppl leave in comments and let this great energy lift you up. What you are creating in these lessons and in your business make a positive impact in people's lives and though I do not know you personally, I am so happy and proud of your successes thus far. You've accomplished more in your short life than many people will in their entire existence. Never quit and never let someone tell you you can't!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Karen. It really means a lot. 😊💖
i'm a retired powwow dancer and i'm not sure who told you that made of man are not permitted to wear headdress but that is not true any warrior can wear a headdress a lot of warriors and pow wow dancers make their own headdresses i'm not sure who is told you that that Warriors are not permitted to wear a headdress that's not true any native american dancer is allowed to make their own headdress no traditional native american gets upset because a person makes their own headdress i have made headdresses and i've gotten a lot of compliments on the headdresses that i make so when you talk about headdresses i have a suggestion research before you say because telling people that native american dancers and warriors are not permitted that wear headdress that's not true you have been misinformed no disrespect intended
The video starts at 1:40
I was hoping to see more of how it was made. Who makes it, and what is the craft of it?
Wo great explained say proudly indigenous people culture....thank u so much.
You are very welcome! What was your favourite part of the video? :)
Thank you for this video I was always wanting to headdress just to honor my Cherokee Nation heritage but now since I know I have to earn it or I have to be honoured with it I have second thought but thank you
Hi , I’m apache and what i’ve been told & researched over the years is that our tribe doesn’t wear warbonets/ headdresses is that true ? also i thought women do wear them sometimes but it was really rare only if they showed a really true brave act for their tribe
Alex speaking speech on the headdresses I'm Cherokee Indian are Cherokee Native American and I agree nobody to disrespect the headdress or the person wearing it
Hello. Love your videos! Can you please make a video talking about the paint the Native American used on different part of their bodies. Would be interesting to know. Cheers ☺️🌟
Thanks for the kind words and suggestions! We will see what we can do
I’m a Apache / Yaqui native we don’t wear them.
I would’ve liked to see you leave pictures of headdresses on longer as you spoke.
Thank you 😊
Thank you for this video, sincerely :)
Glad it was helpful Andre!
I have become fascinated in the history and culture of the native american people. I would like to make a headdress for my art coursework as I have included native american culture in my coursework so far, would it be disrespectful to make a headdress for the intention of art?
Who can tell you what your intentions on your art work is? People's feelings are just those. As long as you know what it's about and respect it as a piece of a culture. What else matters? You made it. It's not stolen. It's more or less an effigy or like you said art work. Anyone can be offended by anything. It's not our job to appease everyone's feelings. If it was. Well look at Australia.
I don't believe it would be taken as offensive if you were to include a bit of literature to explain how you came to make it. Either to honor our cultural artifacts and ways or to say it was a respectful insight into your own vision of the headdress. I would love to see your vision of our headdress when it does become a reality 💕🙏☺️ and remember, it you are not of indigenous ancestry, then you can call it Indigenous Inspired but not Indigenous Created or Made 👍
So excited I found your videos
Yay Leslie! Thanks for watching :)
I enjoyed this video
My chief Lempira 🪶🇭🇳 worn one too 💯
Anyone know what the white dreadlock looking fur hanging down is? What it meant and what it's made out of and called?
Typically those are also feathers.
ALL tribes had many different kinds of headress....this ONE is specific to PLAINS INDIAN tribes pretty much exclusively
to be even slightly specific this kind of headdress COULD be called a Feather Bonnet...needless to say each tribe would have their own word for it in their own language
There were also Buffalo Bonnets and headdresses made of otter skin....Every tribe of the thousands across this country had their own, very different, kinds of headdresses.
Again, this would primarily been used by Plains Indian tribes, Blackfeet, Crow, Sioux, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Kiowa, and Comanche!
(The Comanche seemed to use fewer of them and seemed to use the Buffalo Bonnet more often)
Thank you for telling me about a headdress! this was really helpful
SO glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!
Yes, I seen a male elder who led the dancers at a powwow. He is a veteran and is known for leading the Powwow.
Wow. I didn’t know the significance of the headdress.
Thanks for watching! 😊
I read some of the comments and am very sad. Of course this video does not represent every indigenous person around the world nor does the headdress. Everything we see is sacred to someone in one way or another. There is no one upping to this. Take away what you will but do not disrespect or be egotistical in doing so. We all have stories, it is how we teach and learn by oral tradition.
This video didn't actually inform me on the specific meanings of any headdress. Was the difference in looks between tribes a matter of artistic interpretation or was there a reason for why headdresses looked different? Did members of the same tribe all wear the same headdress?
Did specific feathers mean soecific things? Notches in feathers or paint to indicate specofic reasons for being earned? Etc.....

I have a question regarding a headdress. The side pieces by the temple, can you tell me what the significance of that piece is especially when it's a round piece and has beaded turquoise there. Thank you. I was doing a drum journey for the white wolf and saw that headdress in my quest.
🤫🔥🪶😘🌅😤
Only the braves.🤔🪶🔥✨🦚💋🏝️🕊️
What is the significance of wearing a feather in your hair facing down as opposed of 2 standing up?
Unfortunately your questions were not answered, I am curious and was wondering the same thing.
War bonnets.🤔
Pretty sure the "bravery" she is talking about is one feather per body you had stacked.
I Know That I Haven't Earned It But I Want To Wear One of My Own Because It's a Part Of My Great Great Grandmother's Legacy ❤❤❤
Good to know 😃
In our country where we celebrate United Nation Month in October. It's not considered Misappropriation. It's celebrating our diversity . We got to dress up like people from all around the world, including but limited to native American costumes. It's sometimes too taxing to entertain adverse reactions where there shouldn't be unless otherwise used in malicious manner.
when i see videos like this i understand that some north American people lost there past i understand that the headdress was mint to represent sprite or grate leader ship a person that can feed and lead his people thats why it has eagle feathers the eagle can lead you to water and fish to feed the people so the eagle is above all things
For more investigative research together see Kurimeo Ahue videos see Dane Calloway videos see Lex Will videos pass on.
For the women feather in the hair, some have one or two. And either one is straight up alone, or two feathers, one straight up and one going sideways, does it mean something?, i always wonder about that.
Turtle Island? I would be interested in leaning about how and why you callout this. It seems I am watching a video of yours every day. Keep it up young lady, I am a teacher in my own craft - I enjoy being taught about my ignorance so I can improve myself.. I want a pair of moccasins, they're far better than slippers. Give me a month or so - I over spent this month, lol. I can't find moccasins on your website. I recently had a brain injury, so things are MUCH SLOWER now. If you can send me link, I'll do some shopping. Thanks again daughter....
Thank you so much for your kind words! Turtle Island is a creation story, unfortunately we don't have any videos on this but if you search "Turtle Island creation story" you should be able to find some more information about the topic. We have sold out of our moccasins on our online shop, if you are still looking for a place to purchase them I would suggest a local powwow or you can find some online at Manitobah Mukluks website :)
@@MalloryRoseCo Unfortunately their website is down, I'll try again next month... Stay sweet and stay safe!
So very informative. Is it culturally inappropriate to make a head dress as long as I dont wear it.?
Assuming you are a free man, you can do as you please.
Is there a practical purpose to the head dress? f.e. head protection.
It's a right of passage. The owner has earned every single feather on the head dress usually by doing something important for the community.
Thank you
you're welcome!
Does each tribe have different ways to make their Headdresses?
Yes! There are many forms, based on the natural materials they had at the time (usually) :)
How can I earn one?
Thanks for your question. You have to be indigenous and have been doing lots of work for your community for a very long time. Typically, only chiefs receive a head dress and have earned every single feather on it. :) There are different types of regalia for different men's dance styles and "head dresses" are made to suit that style but the aren't a chiefs head dress so to speak.
*Yes. My father says he has an authentic headdress. I plan on buying a pair of those Mocs of your wall so email and I will see if I can get you more info*
Forgive me for asking a silly question, why did earlier white Americans call the the First Nations redskins? Chinese and Japanese people were also call yellow skins, when in fact their skin tone is more olive toned. I haven’t seen any red skinned people either. I see beautiful people, in looks, spirit or personality around me. As well as watching the pow wows and dances, I love watching the Zaouli dance from the Ivory Coast
Some Orientals do indeed have a yellowy tone. The Western Indians called white men "paleface" for obvious reasons of subjectivity. So whites noticed that they had a tendency towards redness. I think it also depends on the tribe. I know a full Iroquois who looks Mexican, but his Iroquois wife is suuuuuper pale white with very red hair. Her skin is almost as white as marble. His is leathery. Probably some Irish or Jewish genetics in her.
Will you ever talk about the struggles that indigenous people face like MMIW
How did American Indian/Indigenous American's make beads to go on the headress?
Hi there! The earliest beads were made of a variety of natural materials which, after they were gathered, could be readily drilled and shaped. Hope this answers the question!
I want to learn .
I appreciate the information, but my goodness, that video was drawn out way too long. This video could have been 2 minutes.
So glad you appreciate it. And thanks for pointing that out. In our new videos, we tend to keep it as short and detailed as possible. 😊
No one's culture can be resumed in 2 min. It's a good video Thx!
Witiko spirit is back
Yikes! I hope not!
The Aztec Headdress are stunning wonderful also! The feathers Aztecs wear are from Pheasants or macaws. Wait, are those moccasins at the back for display?
So true! They are very beautiful. We have a store in Curve Lake Ontario tribaltradeco.com/ where this video was filmed. These are the mocs we have for sale. :)
Is it possible for someone who's not native but who have integrated into their nation like an immigrant to get a headdress while doing a lot of good stuff for the nation they live in? (Just like people from non British descent CAN get British knighthood). I doubt so but if it did happen it would've been so cool!
The only person who can tell you that you cannot appropriate a culture is the person who has not appropriated any other culture. We live in the free world. Such a person does not exist. Enjoy the vibrancy of multi-culturalism and ignore the hateful propaganda. In other words, Natives have enjoyed the pleasures of indoor air conditioning, plumbing, blue jeans, casinos and beer for quite a while now and nobody has complained. I see lots of folk burning the American flag however, and to me it's the equivalent of taking a headdress out in public and burning it to showcase hatred. Have pure intentions in what you do, and you're fine. In fact, I wish more people would create art out of love for other cultures without fear of being accused. I've been to many schools that will not teach about Katsina dolls and I think that's just a stupid shame.
@@ataart1743 I don't think it's the same thing tho, because those aren't cultural practises, they're scientific discoveries. And I think the specific problem is that native Americans find it disrespectful to their culture to do this, and while other ethnic / national groups may not, there could be other things that would be extremely disrespectful to them (White Americans, Europeans, Asians, etc). And I think the main problem is that those cultural items have been constantly misrepresented as caricatures and also because stuff like headdresses are sacred, I don't think they'd care that much if it was something less sacred like idk moccasins or the wendigo story
@@ataart1743 yeah I think you're actually right! 👍
I always rooted for the Indians in those old cow boy films they were so much more colourful vibrant and better then john Wayne Robert Mitcham and the rest sitting bull and chief scar they were bad ass
Same! They look so cool!
How can I earn it now? Im indigenous, but don't belong to any tribe?
Our TH-cam videos are a great place to begin your journey :) If you have any more questions please feel free to ask.
Was recommended your video today. I am a Nez Perce Indian in Washington state. I received it when my father passed it down to me after he passed away. Before my dad passed, he asked me to be a Warbonnet carrier and I said yes. I was in the US military over 25 years and did 5 combat tours when I served. We did the warbonnet ceremony at my dad’s memorial.🇺🇸🦅🪶 ***edit*** I never thought I would be carrying a warbonnet and I never asked about it. I guess my dad thought I should have it and carry on with it.
0:12 😅 I’m still never sure on why Aira has tribal facial printing on her face
The aztecs and mayans also wore headress don't forget. My people also wore headress. They were the purepechas.
Yes I have.
Yes
My gf has a special collection of fake headdresses that she snatches off peoples heads.
She calls it her coup box
lol love this comment
She's counting cooz lol nice I like it
very interesting Akicita, thank you for sharing. Hopefully she is still respectful with taking off their head and not harming them! :)
Yes I have
Yes I have to myself one of my headpieces is short one as you would normally see on Indians and I have one that goes down halfway to my legs the tribe it would usually wear this headpiece would be the Dangerous comanches
Thanks for sharing Joanne, did you get it from your tribe? That is a great honour :)
👘Yes!🧥
Yes! Band of wabanaki!

Are you native yourself? I'm really curious if I should actually trust you. A lot of this stuff is true but you didn't mention things like how not all tribes actually wear/wore headdresses. You should be specific about what tribes this information is applied to. The small details of the headdress can vary between the tribes that wore them and is not general to all native Americans.
Hi! Yes I am anishnaabe from Curve Lake First Nation. My more recent videos I introduce myself better 😁. We try to keep our videos brief as people don’t like watching long drawn out videos. We have much for detailed information on our blog if you’d like to check it out sometime!

@@eliseang86 Just passing on what the various dresses stand for.
You mentioned not all tribes wore headdresses. In many cases they did and may have abandoned some rituals over time.
The Mexica (aztec) headresses are also very beautiful, especially moctezuma's headress which is sadly now in a museum in Austria
Thanks for sharing Army :D that is sad that it is in a museum and not with its people

I'm wanting to design a character based on the Native American headdress. This character has a headdress made of plastic blades he found in an apocalyptic gift shop to spite his father. Unfortunately, I don't want to make any mistakes; I want to use this character to address cultural appropriation in a subtle way, until the plot twist.
I've had this character in my head for a while. He has a sister. I researched something about Native American naming systems, but I'll have to research that again at a later date. I have no idea which clan or culture this character is based off of. I gave two names to him and his sister: Apenimon Lokni and Alona Ahmik.
I'm open to ideas to better represent the problems with the broadcasted degradation of your culture and history. So the twist is either: Apenimon and his sister are liars, feigning their background to get into a prestige school. Or, Apenimon is truly of indigenous descent of a tribe that I'll research more of, but is wearing a fake headdress because he despises his father/clan/or family. Alona will always be Oriental, because she is not related by blood to Apenimon and is only pretending to be his sister for "plot reasons".
I will totally scrap this character if he doesn't make the cut. And I would totally love to understand more about indigenous wear. Though I suppose Native Americans can wear clothing from any brand just like everyone else, right?
I might not proceed with this character's story. If this triggers you, then that's good. All the more reason to comment and let me know, so I can consider some plot points. Something worrying to note: he has white skin and fuzzy cotton hair, with a blade of hair that's shaped like a lightning bolt.
Don't use the lighting bolt, that symbol belongs to the wakyia's. Other wise known as the clowns. That symbol has sacred powers to Souix nation and would be of greater disrespect to the people. Just a heads up. If you like there's not much out there on them but research Hayoka before you try to use a lighting bolt. Food for thought and good luck with your store
Hi there, wow thanks for this comment! Sounds like you are such a creative thinker and we appreciate you taking the time to inquire about approaching these characters in a respectful way. We don't specifically specialize in Indigenous headdresses so it is difficult for us to advise. However, if you want to learn more about appropriation in general and how to avoid it, check out this video th-cam.com/video/SGFubjgKNzc/w-d-xo.html!
What are these plastic blades you describe... neat plot
The headdress of the Northern plains tribes, which is the eagle feather bonnet, is considered the most exquised, magnificent, and regal of all tribal head coverings around the world, it is instantaniously recognized globally, as a distinct symbol of the N. American Indian.
How would most people know if a head dress was not earned ?
Can non indigenous people earn a head dress ?
HI Dale great question! Indigenous culture values honesty and community - in most cases the community would know who has earned one since it is a GREAT honour
Do Native American women wear hair decorations? Do they evern wear feathers?

I was recently appalled when I walked past a clothing store in Florida that was using head dresses on their mannequins. I reasearched the store and who owns it… not a Native person.
Misinformation. All of it.
The mic. levels are very high . Good video though .
Thank you for the feedback and thank you for the kind words Mike
Fun fact. You are a native of wherever you where born.. you don't need to have special blood.
Thats correct! 👍🏽 😊
It would seem to me that any headdress made by a First Nation person would be an authentic head dress no matter when it was made.
They were not the First nation. Romans were here, Vikings, the Olmecs, and even white people from the Caucasus Mountains.
See, this is why there are women displaying these head dresses in a sexist manner. I thought that to be disrespectful to the whole meaning of what a head dress really is. But today you have sexy modals waring colorful head dresses.
We are showing you what not do to do and what the real meaning of a headdress is.
Headdress is not a Diné way. It belongs to the Comanches and kiowas or should I say the Plains Warriors. To me Headdress is for battle against the HEATHENS.........
Hi how are you Hi how are you Hi how are yeah
Hello Mike! 😊
She sure like to count
I like what ur saying but you said. so who made it . Then you start talking totally different jeees
No, I have never seen an authentic Native American Headdress.
That's ok! I am sure you will get the opportunity to see one one day soon :)
