text: native american+headdress? i have a beautiful headdress and the feathers have become dusty over the years. any ideas on how i could clean it? the feathers are white and i do not want to do anything that would hurt them or the headdress. contact a museum and see what they suggest or go to google and find an american indian website(s) and ask there.  i'm not sure what your headdress looks like- beaded?  how old? what tribe? if you know the tribe, i'd contact that nation.
