For many western Native nations, an eagle feather is sacred; when one falls off a dancer’s outfit, it is said to represent a fallen warrior. Veterans at the powwow are asked to retrieve it in a ceremonially appropriate way. People are asked not to photograph or record this event out of respect to the participants.
