Century-old Blackfoot headdress returned after being found at thrift store


A ceremonial Blackfoot headdress, adorned with golden eagle feathers and likely once owned by a teacher in the residential school system, is now home after being found at a southern Alberta thrift store. It's made out of immature golden eagle feathers. "The caller was convinced it had eagle feathers and that it was an Indian headdress," Marasco told CBC News. The father had been involved with the residential school system north of Red Deer in the early 1900s." Based on some research, Ayoungman believes it was a teacher at a residential school that had the headdress.
