Crow Chief and His Headdress

Crow chief adorned with the whitest eagle feathers
Brought to him piecemeal by tribal elders and hunters
Constructed in a loving way by wise women of the tribe
Worn with pride at evening council fires and ceremonies
Eagle headdress striking fear in enemies of Crow
Giving him an extra boost when they were on the warpath

This poem even read like it could have been written by an Indian Crow Chief.

War Paint Wolf - sounds like a poem title to me Gershon.
