Bring a piece of local tradition and artistry home with this Beaded Faux Eagle Feather by Sarah Ann Billy, an artisan from the Ucluelet First Nation.

Measuring 11 inches in length and adorned with detailed beading in red, black, and white, this piece is perfect for smudging ceremonies or as a decorative hanging. The vibrant beading adds a touch of symbolic meaning, inspired by the colours of the medicine wheel and Sarah Ann’s connection to her heritage.

Important Note: In British Columbia, it is illegal to sell real eagle feathers due to wildlife protection laws and the cultural significance they hold within Indigenous communities. This Faux Eagle Feather provides a respectful and legal alternative for those who wish to incorporate the symbolism and beauty of eagle feathers into their smudging practices or home décor.

By choosing this piece, you support Indigenous artistry while honoring traditions in a responsible and lawful way.

Sarah Ann Billy is from Ucluelet First Nation and has been beading for four years.She thanks Marylin Touchie for teaching beading on an eagle feather as it started her beading journey. She is inspired by bright colours, particularly those in the medicine wheel.
