Ice Age 3 - The Movie

Visiting the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C.,

my sister and I were admiring a beautiful tribal headdress decorated

with eagle feathers.

A man came up to us and identified himself as a Native American.

“Do you know how warriors got those?”

the man asked, pointing to the feathers.

Admitting that we didn’t, the man went on to say…..

“They covered a hole with brush, tied a live rabbit on top of it and hid underneath.

When an eagle swooped down for the kill, they would grab its wing or tail.”

“Fascinating,” I said. “You learned that from your tribal elders?”

“Actually, no,” the man confessed. “I saw it on the Discovery Channel.”
