Native American Turkey Feather Fan

Dimensions: Overall length of whole fan is 13 inches (33 cms).
This feather has been ethically sourced from an artist who is a member of the Sioux tribe living in the USA. It is handmade and is a truly authentic Native American craft item.
The Symbol of the Turkey in Native American culture: They believe that the turkey helped to create the world, and is thought of as the give-away.  In the give-away ceremony someone will give away perhaps all that they own for the good of the people. In the giving away of material possessions we are acknowledging who we really are – spiritual beings. The spirit of turkey is free, and opens up the channels between us and others on a meaningful level. The turkey sacrifices itself so that others may live, and this can show us courage and faith in our present life and the next.
The symbol of the feather: Feathers are used consistently throughout Native American crafts and ceremonial tools. Birds fly in between the earth and the sky and as such feathers represent this connection between us as humans and Great Spirit. Of course a feather is not essential to contact God or be in tune with Spirit. It is a tool – a reminder. Feathers are like a link. You can hold them while praying, you can use a feather to brush smudge smoke over you for cleansing the aura and can have them in crafts and jewellery about you to remind you that you are always connected to Spirit.
