Feathered Bonnet-- a sign of service to the tribe
Ashton, Education Outreach Director, explained many of the items in the cases to the 4th graders. She talked about this beautiful Nez Perce artifact that shows how important taking care of each other is in their culture. The person that wore this ceremonial headdress was very important to the people. Each eagle feather represents one act that is acknowledged as service and deemed as honorable.
The kids learned a lot about cultural items and ways today.
