Phenomenal Feathered Regalia - #5 of 5

Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 1 December 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

Native American attire, called regalia, is vivid and elaborate, taking years to complete. Members from the different tribes each have their special dress with intricate details to represent their tribes. The colors on their regalia are not specifically significant to a tribe, but the colors bear a significance to the individuals themselves. . . . (Note: These are not costumes.)

Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

Beautiful! I am very familiar with the sacred distinction of regalia. It is indeed not a costume! I have posted some traditional art work from the First Nation community for which I work on Monday Dec 5th,
