When it comes to Native Americans, the image of the eagle feather headdress is perhaps the most vivid impression that comes to mind. The first time I saw an eagle feather headdress was at the flea market in St. Ouen, Paris. As a hat collector for over ten years, coming across a unique hat was an extremely exciting moment for me. Those who are able to deal in antiques are mostly knowledgeable and understand the psychology of collectors. Although I liked it a lot, I didn't immediately make a purchase. After circling around a few times, I eventually decid- ed to bring it home.
The eagle feather headdress is a major charac- teristic of Native American attire. Native Ameri- cans consider feathers as symbols of bravery and honor. Sometimes modern people joke that the eagle feather headdress is used as a "performance assessment" for Native American men, which sounds quite interesting.
