The Plains Indian War Bonnet was a receptacle of oral history for warriors and their tribe. Around the fire stories could be told of great acts of bravery. Feathers told individual stories of courage and daring. In the old days the bonnet was only worn on special occasions and it was highly symbolic. Its beauty was of secondary importance for its real value was in its power to protect the wearer.

The New Era begins Vanessa and Melissa welcome you to their website. Vanessa Hearne and her daughter Melissa Singleton's kennel of Standard and Miniature Bull Terrier's aim to produce quality dogs conforming to English Kennel Club standards.




The Bonnet had to be earned through brave deeds in battle for the very feathers it contained were significant of the deeds themselves. Some warriors might be able to obtain only two or three honour feathers in their whole lifetime, so difficult were they to earn. The bonnet was also the mark of highest respect because it could never be worn without the consent of the leaders of the tribe.
