This is so impressive. A great tribute to Native American culture, and their craftsmanship that if not kept alive like this, would be lost... Great craftsmanship and detail! - Jim

My distant Grandfather (before he passed gracefully) had shared out the feather’s of his headdress to my brothers and I. I remember him telling me in order to have a headdress, I must earn each feather, sadly, he had dementia and was living in the past, not realising we don’t live by the old rules of our tribe. We don’t wear headdresses, although we can if we want to. I still have the feather he gave to me, and seeing this gorgeous headdress you created in this video really hit me with a wave of nostalgia. Thank you ❤️

To the person who commented on this being a “Toy”. What person would invest this much love and time into creating something so beautiful just to be used as a toy! I’m am eternally grateful to see this beautiful example of amazing creative workmanship. Maybe this will be used in a Native American celebration.

I've always found the headdress beautiful. Now that I know how much work can go into them, I find them more amazing. Thank you for this.

i wish my grandpa was still around to teach me this

I’m Cherokee ~ Thank You for keeping one of our nations culture alive ~ you earned the right!!

I'm an Algonquin native American this is very beautiful each bead and each feather each stich on a head dress can mean something or represent an achievement you earn the head dress you shouldn't just wear one for the fun of it or to copy native Americans. This head dress is very beautiful and very crafted.

I'm native American and this is amazing thank you for showing the beautiful Craftsmanship

Wow! A ton of detail went into making that! Awesome!

Amazingly beautiful, thank you for sharing! I was looking for a tutorial to make a feather Headdress for my grandson’s upcoming birthday of 3 years old and found this. A bit too sophisticated for a toy in toddler’s hands, but very inspiring! Loved the fabrication of the leather bonnet! ✨🌟⭐️🙏🫶🙏⭐️🌟✨

Step one: Become a master bead guy

Omg! Beautiful the headpiece was stunning, I knew a lot went into making these but I'm blown away at just how much, thank you so much for sharing !!!

I am currently done building all the parts, just need to assemble. Thank you for your videos!

Neat seeing how many people love your culture, greetings from a SoCal Native. ✌

Wow so beautiful and amazing it's so sad to see forgotten culture just disappear from mainstream media and america

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!! Is so perfect, even though I watched the tutorial I don't think I can make one on my own lol

This is absolutely wonderful!!!! An superior artistic work composed of love, tradition and dedication. I appreciate you, sir.

Thank you so much for making this! I have project about native Americans in school and needed to make one. This was very helpful!

Wow! I truly appreciate you sharing this. Such a beautiful and intricate process! Way to keep the culture and practices alive.

So much work was put into this I appreciate it!!!

Looks pretty convincing. It must be also the string running through quills of feathers. it prevents feathers from falling forward.

this is an absolute artform, so much respect for these traditions.

Never knew it would be this tough to make Native headdress. Lots of love and support from Nagaland❤️👍🏻

Great video showcasing the preservation of Indian culture, but can we have another video in fast forward for people who don't have much time but still want to appreciate the finer things in life.

This has been very helpful, I have been trying to learn more a bout my African and Native American culture.

I have wanted to learn this since I was a little girl! This video is great! thank you!

Wow this is so beautiful and I'm so happy to have found this video. Thank you so much.

Native Pride!!! Thank you for this🌹

I've got to tell you... it's a decent representation of one of the nations.... I had the opportunity of viewing and wearing one up close and personal. ... You do very good crafting. ... I'm Mohawk and Apache bloodline. Would love to see you do more . 🦅 🦉

I loved this video because I am making an Indigenous headpiece for myself, needed some tips and really appreciated the time, patience and love you put into it. ✨💚✨

Wow this is so amazing to watch. Such a beautiful work of art, thank you so much for taking the time to share your process with us.

Oh my god..you are treasure ...i wish i can wear this headdress...i dream to wear this along time ago..with my modern contemporary look

So nice thanks for the video, nice diy. I wish all the diy's been like this

This is wonderful! I have learned so much just from watching! Your music choice is perfect, too!

I am so impressed, and inspired to make this! You did an incredible job. I am scared to do this myself, and feel it will take me year to do it, but it will be an enriching experience that will make me feel empowered in the end. Thank you for sharing this video! It will an invaluable guide for me!

Such an amazing craft you have! Thank you. I really enjoyed watching! ❤

I was looking up referenced so I could draw a headdress. This video was so indepth, thank you :D

boy a lot of work goes into this !!

I’m Native American and I got to say you earn it

imaginably you are an artiste

Thank you for this. My son wants to become part of the Micosay dancers and will need to make his own attire. It looks like it might take us awhile, but the instructions are good. Thankfully Tandy leather is just down the road.

I think this is a hard and clever job. It is better buy a fremade headdress. Thanks this uploader.

thank you for this very special video it helped me for my haritgetege day at school so thank you

That's fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing. I always wondered how they were made. It looks like fun. Watching this makes me want to try to make one myself. 👍

WoW You are a master...This is beautyfull!

Now that's beautiful. I always wondered how they were made, Great video.

thank you very much for this great video i am interested in the native americans and their craftmanship too

I've always wanted to make one as a display piece, but I would use the hand painted feathers, with white fluffs and white fluffs also on the tips, with horsehair. And ermine for the side ornament fur. There is a wonderful instruction on how to make them in a book by Ben Hunt. Indian Crafts and Lore. You can find the used vintage book on ebay. Combine that with your leather skullcap, would look nice. I'm not native, so no real eagle feathers for me. I was always excited by the war bonnets as a kid, as it reminded me of our amazon parrot when he was excited or aggressive and would flare his crown of head feathers. He hated me, so when he flared them, he was ready for war! They also spread their tail feathers. I do love how parrots "gift" their feathers to you by molting.

Its incredible

Beautiful

Thank you for sharing, your bead designs are very similar to our taniko designs. The colors I have seen merge beautifully, the feathers and fur adornments are beautiful also. Mauri ora, from New Zealand.

bravo magnifique travail artisanales

Здорово, спасибо за работу!

That was incredible to watch. Thank you

This is absolutely awesome!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!

Oh mon dieu 7 ans apres cette video 😅, je vous dis merci !😊

Que trabajo increíble. Cuanto rigor! Muchas gracias por compartir su conocimiento.

That looks beautiful !!

Beautifully made! I’m not planning on making one but it was very nice to watch

This is better then what I’ve mostly seen.Your work is good and not cheep cultural appropriation shit I like your stuff nice

2 days ago I found feathers of a big bird, probably a in eagle. I watched this video two years ago for no reason. And when I found the feathers I remembered the video. Now I am planning to make this headdress, not exactly as shown on the video but I will do my best. I would love to share my result with you if I have chance.

A really good head dress thank u in honoring my people ur bead work is amazing

Watching this on a sick day. Super asmr. :o

So beautiful

Impressive.. m only suggestion is lift the nap of the fur and cut under it.. but fantastic

I really enjoy this, my dad side of the family is native american and I'm also half blooded native American and from my mom side I'm Greek. From a yinug age my parents and dads family always got me native american stuff and it became an ordinary thing to get growing up and always loved ut and had a strong connection to the stuff. But with all the controversies surrounding about it, it kinda scares me to even show it anymore. What I once loved feels like everyone is seeing it offensive, i can't remember what tribe my family is from i want to say Cherokee, like what if a random person sees my native american decorations my family gave me over the years finds it offensive, daying im not native american enough to have it, i have told that one before by someone in a group chat. For the longest time ive been looking for a headdress but kinda scared to buy one and get backlash from it. I also paint and make native american deer skulls but i dont sell them at all they're just my little projects to make with the animals skulls i found in the yards due to living up in heavily forest area. But over time I just dont know what offensive and not anymore i tried researching but it looks like nothing but opinions from everyone. I always speak how native americans ways are better and I believe in their ways too because it seems right to me, and it feels likes it is right and having no doubt in my mind but it could be how my dad's side of the family has taught me. My grandfather is full blooded Indian, he and my dad exposed me from a young age of every native american stuff amd it always stuck with me. I just want advice and help qith whats not offensive and what is. That would help greatly

not quite sure it's up to traditional standards but it still is a very nice headdress you use a lot of modern tools and glues such as sienna acrylate that did not exist

Wow.. this is very cool..

Beautiful work....Aho!

Beautiful!

Artizan what a gift. How I would love to make that.

Beads work is great.

really nice work, love see'ing how it is made :) tyvm for sharing your talent

Masterpiece 🎯🤴🏾

Magnifique tout simplement

Awesome! Lovin' it!

AMAZINGGGG... So a great artist❤️

Yo that was hypnotically good 😃🖤👌✅

So beautiful, Thank you

Thank u for let me know how to do A ancient crown, Eternal Blessings!!!

how many hours did this project take? I assume its highly dependent on your previous experience with the skills involved

I was mesmerized!!

Awesome patience could you imagine putting on the war bonnet an going to fight till death for what you believe in what courage the American first nation people had

Wooow! Super!!! Огромное вам спасибо!!!!

I'm sure someone has already asked but how much for the raw materials and the overall time involved? I really appreciate it!

Thank you for uploading! I will try to do it with other materials because i don´t have the tools to work with leather. I think i go for felt or smth like that

This is absolutely incredible I am trying to make 5, Apache, Shawnee, Choctaw, Navajo, and Sioux. Please link some/all of the materials or where to get some if you see this!! Great work

Hhhh the Native American culture is very beautiful ❤️✨

c'est magnifique

Amazing masterpiece! can i know the names of the instruments that you used for punching a hole & cutting the leather? Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

Amazing. One day i hope to be able to make something like this, but i still got a ways to go. Beautiful video.

Pretty neat, you should try to do an authentic 1, be a cool thing to see and do. The way they used to do it. Obviously not with buffalo hide or eagles though

This is absolutely amazing I've wanted to buy one online for ages. I wanted to make sure it was authentic, good materials and not flimsy fancy dress prop. You have inspired me to make this as you have. I have a knitting loom I will use to make the beading. Can you tell me which tools I need to buy (the metal thing you used to make a perfectly equal edge around the sides) and (the metal fork looking thingy) and anything else you recommend. Also how many of those individually wrapped feathers did you prepare for this head dress?? Thank you soo much for sharing this and keep up the amazing hand leather work you genius.

Parabéns pelo lindo trabalho.👏👏👏👏👏👏

Amei gostaria de ter um igual muito bem feito maravilhoso❤❤❤❤

Amazing! So talented 😍❤️

The native American people would be offended by this as the head dress is not a costume, it is to be earned in certain ways and used for ceremonial purposes.

I remember beadwork it was in my O.T. class

Who are the 252 people that didn't like this?

bravo for the video its so good
