Headdress

Hands build the dance headdresses on the concrete, in the shade. Red and black feathers are sewn and glued to a cardboard band, with thread, scissors, and glue. A woman works seated and tries the band on herself; other hands bring the headdress to girls and boys, from the front and from behind. At the end, outdoors, they adjust the band on a boy. The headdress goes from loose feathers to the head.
