    i compete and personaly i dont think we get points added or taken if we have turkey or eagle feathers. what matters is how good you dance and how u represent your regalia but i dont know about other pow-wows but non that i have seen before have dont that.

      Eagle bustles are nice! But so is a fine set of hackle bustles. Most hackle bustles now are made from turkey spikes.

      By saying "Fakies" are you referring to hackle bustles or imitation eagle bustles - like the hand-painted turkey feathers?

      I don't think it matters whether you have eagle bustles or hackle bustles. Just dance em good. :D

          Feather Finder
          by kyflutedancr
          I'm constructing a new bustle and I'm having a really hard time finding any good feathers for it. I havent earned the right to use Eagle or hawk feathers, and all the turkey feathers I can find are only the common barred ones. Does anyone know of anywhere that I can find some good alternatives to the...

          by CherokeeScoutCB
          I have been wondering, in everybodys opinion, what is the amount of feathers needed to make a good full set I mean everything from roach to mocs. I have alot of turkeys where I live and just wanted to get an idea of how many wings I would need. Personally I dont like the tails and I can live without...

          Using eagle feathers as hackle bustle spikes?
          by grayback
          A question of pure curiosity:

          What do you folks think of using eagle feathers in place of turkey spikes on hackle bustles?

          I've seen a few eagle-feather fancy dance bustles, and plenty of turkey hackle bustles, but on 2 occasions I've seen a fancy dancer who took eagle...
          Don't think they should be used for that.

          I wouldn't use them, but if others do, that's fine.

          Hawk Vs Eagle Feathers
          by TinyOne
          My family is Navajo and I was wondering if the use of Hawk feathers in place of Eagle was acceptable usage or would it be frowned upon by other natives. It seems that it is getting harder and harder to obtain Eagle feathers. I don't believe in using imitation feathers for any type of regalia but...
