Like all indigenous tribes Feathers hold a great significance with the native American people. Their belief system is based around the idea that all of nature including the earth and the earths animals, are connected to spirit and the spirit world. They believe that we were all created to be connected spiritually, and all things in nature have purpose, wisdom and power.
They believe that when one wears a material from an animal, this will connect them to spirit and the animal it came from. All things that are found from nature are thought to be gifts from god and they honour these gifts greatly.
Feathers in particular were given to warriors after every great battle. They would be added to the warriors headdress and Headdresses would be a map of their battles and life.
Ive always had a great appreciation and interest for native American history and culture. They live their lives connected to nature and the earth and I believe they had and still have a very powerful message. I have definitely been inspired with this research and this has only allowed me to develop my design ideas further. I have looked at a couple of different tribes Headdress style, as every tribe would have a different style, and seen how I can incorporate this into my design. I want to make a very contemporary interpretation and need it to be a shape that is visible in my shoot.
