The first Crow Dog had shown them the way. As a chief, he had the right to wear a war bonnet, but he never did. Instead he found somewhere an old, discarded, white man's cloth cap with a visor and to the top of it he fastened an eagle feather. He used to say: 'This white man's cap that I am wearing means that I must live in the wasicun's world, under his government. The eagle feather means that I, Crow Dog, do not let the wasicun's world get the better of me, that I remain an Indian until the day I die.'
