Feathers


Native American Indians believed that feathers were gifts from Great Spirit. Birds were regarded as the highest spirit animal on earth and feathers were used to carry prayers to Great Spirit. They were decorated with stones, beads, and sometimes bones. Each Indian had their own power symbol for their prayer feathers.

    Greetings! I was wondering if you could tell me, or lead me to where I can learn what the different bird feathers represented to the Apache's and what power symbols they had. I thank you very much.
