Wow, you collect eagle feathers? I know that here in the US you'd need to be Native American or have a special permit just to own them. Mostly because of how highly protected eagles are, being that the Baldie is our nation's animal.

I know that eagles and even their feathers hold a highly spiritual significance to the many native peoples and they use them for ceremonies. I was lucky enough to be able to attend a ceremonial dance, or "pow wow" as they are called, when I lived in Ohio. I remember it being loud (as a girl, I was very sensitive to loud noises and music and such), and the dancers wore elaborate costumes made out of eagle feathers and animal skins.

It was amazing and frightening to my young self all at the same time. I'll never forget the beating of the drums and how they reverberated through my body and how the dancers moved around almost hypnotically as they danced and sang.
