feather headdresses
Ceremonial plumed headwear
Feather headdresses are ceremonial headpieces decorated with feathers, most famously the war bonnets of Plains Indian nations like the Lakota and Cheyenne.
These carried deep spiritual significance—feathers were earned through acts of courage or leadership.
The term also covers feathered headwear in other contexts: showgirl costumes, carnival regalia, theatrical productions.
Wearing Native American-style headdresses as fashion or costume is widely considered disrespectful.
