The Eagle is a main family crest in northwest Native cultures.  Eagles are believed to be very sacred and their feathers are used in many ceremonies because they are invested with spiritual power. 

Indigenous art hand carved bracelet.  People on the northwest coast wore tattoos depicting family crests and other cultural symbols.  During the time of the Potlatch ban, wearing tattoos was discouraged or punished.  Native people began wearing silver and gold bracelets with crest designs engraved on them.  These could be removed when necessary.  The popularity of cuff bracelets spread from the Native American community to the non-Natives and continues into today.
