A Native American headdress, often referred to as a war bonnet, is a traditional headpiece worn by some Indigenous peoples of North America. It is typically made from feathers, leather, and beads, and is often adorned with symbols that represent the wearer's achievements, status, or tribe. Each feather can signify a specific act of bravery or honor, making these headdresses highly significant in Native American culture. Headdresses vary widely among different tribes, with styles and meanings unique to each group. For example, the Lakota and Sioux tribes are known for their elaborate feathered headdresses, while other tribes may use different materials or designs. Today, headdresses are often used in cultural ceremonies, celebrations, and as symbols of heritage.
