Being a combat veteran the sacred feather is LIFE and a Protector of the freedoms we have and only wounded veterans are allowed to cut the Eagle feather and must be paid to cut it...That carrying a weapon prevents the sacred ones from dancing because the little ones are watching and learn,we must have respect for our enemies because the same god made them also. PEACE is an on going process. KNOW LOVE KNOW PEACE . AMERICA was GREAT when hundreds of thousands of my people went to their deaths willingly the Feather belongs to the one who has died in war defending his country ---smudge real good when you go around people who have no respect for the living things and that feather has lived longer than many of us. Sick handling of feathers make others sick.
IF one carries weapon in a sacred place then surly respect for dancing has gone. And its too fast for Plains style dress dancing anyway to fast more like fancy dancers dressed in sacred feathers that protect during the time of conflict And that half beat is disfunction and pompt most of you are christian ---so how is it one can have two hearts.---Koda
