Painting - Acrylic On Canvas
Description
To qualify as a warrior, and thus earn the right to wear an eagle feather, Native American youths were required to perform an act of courage on behalf of their tribe. For Indigenous peoples of the Great Plains such as the Sioux or Apache this included killing and scalping an enemy, capturing a horse, disarming an opponent, infiltrating the enemy's camp, taking a prisoner, or striking the same opponent three times in battle. Few braves received more than three eagle feathers during their lifetime due to the bird's rarity and sacred status, but exceptionally courageous and talented warriors such as Sitting Bull, Geronimo or Cochise could ultimately earn enough feathers to make a war bonnet.
