I know! I hate how American-centric it is. I'm sure the Celts, the vikings and even the Visigoths used feathers in their clothing, and ceremonies.

Personally I'd never imitate a warbonnet in art, due to the sensitive nature of the item (and the fact that it is disrespectful), but feathers hanging from a staff, or from the ears, or even in the hair hopefully would not cause a backlash.

Clarification: Reading this over what I mean is that I think it's disrespectful to imitate the look of a warbonnet in art (or use a warbonnet at all), unless you're Native American.

It just makes sense really.

You hate how "American-centric" the use of feathers is (I'm guessing you meant US-centric, but it actually is very American what with the Arawaks, Incans, Mayan, Aztecs, Iroqouis, Tupi, and Plains Indians all making good use of them), yet you only talk about Celts and Germanics? That's pretty egocentric.

And it's really not. A warbonnet is directly related to the Plains Indian. A feather sticking up from a headband is as well. Feathers in general aren't connected to Amerindians in American society. They're sold as accessories in many stores.
