    1. Do tell. What is the significance of what he is wearing?

  2. Eagle feathers in his hair signifies bravery and surviving his initiation, the chest piece made from animals he has killed, the coup stick meant he is a leader in his tribe, the amulet around his neck is a medicine piece or to ward off evil. OK?

  4. He is the Real Thing.

    Glad to see the caption, "A young man who has not come under the influence of progressive methods." I.e. they haven't made a wuss of him yet! (And I very much doubt they ever did.)
