What a wonderfully and culturally significant pair of sterling silver, drop dangle earrings! Each beautiful, earring has a single Native Leader wearing a feathered headdress, an indigenous traditional and sacred object. The great leaders of the original Americans were often referred to as a “chief” by the European newcomers whose culture involved a rigid political structure. These great leaders led their people in the conservation of their customs, traditions and religion.

In many Native communities, the presentation of an eagle feather is one of the highest marks of respect. The feathered headdresses were worn by the great leaders who earned a place of great respect and recognition through selfless acts of courage and honor or in gratitude for work or service to the community or Nation. Today, feathered headdresses are items of great spiritual and political importance and are often worn for ceremonial occasions.
