BC Indian hats

Do you think American Indian traditional head covering is a feather bonnet? Well, not in British Columbia. There the traditional head covering is a basket. A properly traditional one should be made with tree roots although nowadays one can see cheaper ones, perhaps not made in China but using some other than traditional materials. Anyway don't you dare put on a bonnet if you happen to paddle one of the traditional Indian ocean-going boats. 
All these pictures were taken during a rally of such boats in 2014 in Alert Bay.
