collection of eagle feathers, each adorned with a unique pattern of colorful beads, hang on the kitchen wall inside the Waters household in Norman, Oklahoma.
Care and craftmanship reserved for the most esteemed gifts went into the presentation of those sacred eagle feathers – the ones that Lindy Waters III has been presented with over his young lifetime. At graduations, from Norman North High School and then at Oklahoma State, Waters III had those eagle feathers dangling from his cap.
