This is an especially fine piece of stained glass work. The headdress feather colors
have been selected for their authenticity.

Although we may not know the symbolic meaning of the headdress, many people
find them to be beautiful works of art. It is believed that the Sioux created what
is thought of as the traditional headdress. This is the feathered headdress often
seen on warriors and chiefs in paintings and pictures. Only the most brave and
powerful of the tribe wore headdresses. Before the invasion on their land of the
white man, the custom of wearing a headdress spread through the many tribes.
However, each headdress varies from tribe to tribe as it represents the culture of
each tribe. The individual wearing it would often customize Indian headdresses,
thus making it unique to that individual.
