Although we may not know the symbolic meaning of Indian headdress, we find them to be almost breathtakingly beautiful works of art. It has been recorded that the Sioux Indians created what is now considered the traditional Indian headdress. This is the feathered headdress often seen on warriors and chiefs in paintings and pictures. Only the most brave and powerful of the tribe wore headdresses; each feather signifying a brave act performed.

Rarely found outside of a museum, some Native Americans today keep Indian headdresses for special occasions and posterity. The style of the Indian headdress depends on the tribe, the custom connected to the Indian headdress, and popular symbols. Every Indian headdress has its own story to tell about the tradition of honor and bravery it describes, and significance of the design which is then passed down through the Native American oral tradition.

We are pleased and proud to be able to present this fabulous replica of a traditional Indian Chief headress in longstitch needlepoint.
