I am looking for meanings of colors and cuts made into feathers, or feathers of particular birds. I am choctaw and blackfoot and im getting ready to design a tattoo for my back, and wanted everything to have meaning. I want the feathers hanging in it to have a message. I can’t seem to find websites with any help! Maybe you can, any ideas?? Thanks a bunch!
As one member wrote, all tribes have different meanings but maybe I can give you a few pointers. I am Navajo, my husband is Chirachua Apache. The medicine wheel is red, yellow, white, and black. White is North or the path of wisdom, red is south and is the spirit, the earth. Yellow is east and represents the sun. Black is south and represents night or a look within yourself. Eagle feathers are used to send your prayers to the Creator. I don’t know anything about cuts in the feathers.

well each tribe have their own meanings for things. You should really talk 2 a chictaw and a blackfoot elder. They are the most knowlegeable on this subject. Im ojibwe and my meaning could be different. I really woulnt get it off a website. If not do what is in your heart, and what u like.
