Buzzard Feather 1976.14.106
Octavius Seowtewa: Lighter gray and darker gray. This is a buzzard. This is the base where it goes into the wing.
Fumi Arakawa: Did they use it for some kind of ceremony?
Octavius Seowtewa Yea…It’s used in a curing ceremony, and other than that, especially the buzzard,is not used in ceremonies. Crows, eagles, but not buzzard, but it is used in curing ceremonies and I’ll just go that far.
Fumi Arakawa: Do people wear them?
Octavius Seowtewa: So, my society is the only one that uses that. Now it’s just becoming more important to me because of what was found there.
