Eagle feathers are sacred to Native American people.  The eagle flies closest to the Creator and sees everything happening below.  The people pray with eagle feathers with the understanding that the feathers will take the prayers to the Creator.  Eagle feathers should not be dropped on the ground, but if they are, they are blessed before being used again.
