Traditional Huron dress: a black gown, sash with arrow design and a feather headdress for men; a long skirt with a matching tunic and gown decorated with embroidery for women ... the highly characteristic chief's headdress ..., a head covering with a wide leather headband embroidered with flowers made of either beads of moose hair. Feathers are arranged to cover the top of the head. These are rooster or partridge feathers which are split down the middle, as the nerve was removed to give the headdress a curly look. 1, record 1, English, - feathered%20headdress
