Lakota Feather Hair Ties

The feather hair ties shown below were made by Lakota Sioux tribal members. The large hand painted "eagle" and "hawk" feathers are made by Alan Monroe of Hot Spring, South Dakota. All of the other feathers were made by a family from Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. They use feathers of domestic birds such as geese and turkeys and they prize the feathers that are shed of pet birds such as parrots and cockatoos. Read about Lakota Sioux Indians.

Hair Ties are traditionally worn by Native American dancers but you can use them in a variety of ways:

- Use them in your hair or your horse's mane or tail!
- Or tie one on your tack, in your car or truck, to your purse or backpack or somewhere at work or school.
- Use them for your personal ceremonies or meditation practices.
- Use them to decorate a gift instead of using a bow.
