What materials were traditionally used to make Native American headdresses?
Tribes used eagle feathers as the primary material, considered sacred and spiritually powerful. They combined feathers with leather bases, bone, shells, beads made from natural stones, porcupine quills, and dyed horsehair. Each material held meaning. Eagle feathers especially symbolized strength, vision, and connection to the spiritual world.
