What do the colors of feathers on Native American headdresses mean?
There is no simple answer to a question like that, since the feather headdress of the (for example) Kayapo or Bororo people of Brazil have no connection at all with the historic Sioux warbonnet, and neither has any connection with modern dance headdresses worn at powwows and Indian fairs.
Modern dance dress is simply made to impress, so bright silks and gaudy coloured ribbons are combined with chemical-dyed feathers to produce a deliberately startling appearance. None of this has any meaning at all. Today many tribes use the Sioux-style warbonnet, when it was never worn by their ancestors.
Historically, eagle feathers were generally left in their natural colour (off-white with very dark brown splotches and tips), sometimes with dyed or natural horsehair glued to the tips. A few Plains tribes might paint small parts of a feather, such as red stripes or spots to indicate wounds received, or black bars for war honours; in some cases entire feathers would be painted a solid colour - but this was rare and might have different meanings among different groups (or simply a specific meaning for the man wearing that feather).
So in historic terms, feathers did not usually have "colours" - but in some cases a small amount of paint had a specific tribal meaning; the gaudy and bright feathers on modern headdresses worn by native dancers have absolutely no meaning at all.

What are the natural resources of macau?
Macau has limited natural resources due to its small size and urbanized landscape. The region primarily relies on its coastal location for fishing and has some agricultural land, although it's minimally utilized. The main resources contributing to its economy are related to tourism and gaming rather than traditional natural resources. Additionally, Macau imports most of its energy and raw materials.
What is someone from Macau called?
People from Macau would prefer you call them Macanese, Macau was a Portugal colony, even though Macau has returned to China, it still has its own culture, government, law, currency and such, they even speak different language to people live in China Mainland, therefore people from Macau are not exactly Chinese. Macanese would be a proper and respectful title.
Why does macau have their own flag?
Although Macau is under Chinese federal-control, it still only remains a territory. Therefore, as a Special Administrative Region (SAR), Macau is allocated to remain as autonomous territory where it has control over all government matters excluding military defense and international trade stances, similar to Hong Kong, another SAR. This level of autonomy also allows it to keep its own flag, similar to the States' Flags in the United States.
Do you need a visa to work in the Netherlands?
Yes, but you are required to have a working permit, since the US is not part of the European Union. Let me quote the Employee Insurance Schemes Implementing Body:
Are you a citizen of a country outside the EU, EEA or Switzerland? Then you can legally work in the Netherlands if:
you have a valid residency permit stating that you can legally work in the Netherlands. If you do not have a residency permit, your employer in the Netherlands will have to apply for a work permit for you. Once you have a work permit, you are allowed to work in the Netherlands.
Your employer does not need to apply for a work permit for you, if in the past 5 years (4 years in case you are a Turkish citizen), you have worked in another member state of the EU or EEA or in Switzerland by virtue of a residency permit, and if you have subsequently worked in the Netherlands for one uninterrupted year (however not necessarily for one employer) by virtue of a work permit.

What are some of China's natural resources?
China has many natural resources such as coal, iron ore, gas, tin, tungsten, mercury, manganese, aluminum, zinc, lead, uranium,rice,coffe bean plants. The quality of some of the resources may not be as good as other countries which is why there are many of these resources imported into China. They mix their own with the imported resources to make it more usable.
