Feathers are used in many cultures as a form of adornment. In North America, some Native American tribes, such as the Sioux, Apache, and Cherokee, traditionally wear feathers in their hair. In South America, some indigenous tribes, such as the Yanomami, also wear feathers in their hair. In Africa, some tribes, such as the Maasai, wear feathers in their hair as a sign of beauty and status. In Australia, some Aboriginal tribes, such as the Yolngu, also wear feathers in their hair.
