🦅 Let's Test Your Knowledge! Can you match the ceremonial headdress to the correct nation? Comment your answers below!

The majestic eagle, known as the "King of Birds," holds special significance as a national emblem in various countries worldwide.

To the Hodinohsho:ni, the eagle is a guardian bird, perched on the summit of an enormous pine tree. The symbolic Tree of Peace achieved its great size from the power of the weapons of war, buried beneath its roots to stop bloodshed. The eagle's purpose is to watch the roots of the tree that stretch north, south, east and west symbolizing all are welcome.

Indigenous communities used gold eagle feathers to create headdresses, believing that wearing them bestowed the eagle's qualities of sharp vision, strength, and bravery. The plumes and talons of the eagle were also cherished for their significance and power.

Share this post if you're interested in learning the history behind each nation's ceremonial headdress.
