We (Native Americans) wore them for different reasons and it also varied on the tribe. A main reason for a Plains Native to wear one is that they earned or were awarded one for acts of bravery on a hunt or during a skirmish. Also different types, designs and alterations of feathers meant different things. For example in my tribe a black and white feather with a slit between the top and bottom meant you killed an enemy and took his scalp.
