Your Fan
 For those of you Jinglers that use a fan, what kind of fan do you use? Black tip? Spotted eagle? Golden? Makaw? Describe the fan you use when dancing your contest song.

heh heh she said for those of you who use a fan :P lol anyhow i use my bald eagle tail or my eagle wing when i feel like it, meaning if their are prayers or people that have asked me to dance for them. its considered a spotted tail i guess, it was from a rather large young bald female. its got featherwork on it and a handle that twists off. My fam on my dads side had it done for me. its pretty its semi loose, when i dance the feathers dance with me on the side step i love the way it feels when they dance with me. yeah thats about it i have pix of it on my myspace ;) lol

I don't use a fan when I dance. My Mama gave me eagle feathers number of years ago and had a fan made. They are old feathers and instead of them just lying in my case I asked for a fan to be made. I will use it when I have that feeling to use it like to pray directly for her.

I had a little mini fan when I was little. I think they were turkey feathers but I'm not too shure. I remember back then that round here even old style jinglers used to carry a fan...times have changed eh?

Last year I started a new series of fans, using the leg of a wolf as a handle and removing the bones and treating the skin and then filling the leg to become firm as a handle, I do leave the claws and pads on the foot too!
