Native American belt buckles are very popular among belt buckle collectors. Please enjoy the wide selection of Native American belt buckles below and here is a bit of history on their design.
Legends and myths surround the epic history of Native Americans. The touch of native American lifestyle has always been intriguing for a lot of reasons. Most stories, especially how they have been depicted in movies for so long, spoke about the usual action and adventure of their lives. More than the enviable culture and laidback living, perhaps people find the battle between cowboys and American Indians most fascinating of all.
Their rich culture is evident with the traditional dwellings, ingenuity of their weapons, their traditions, their beliefs and customs and even their clothing. Textiles are handmade and are wonderfully adorned by unmistakable artistry of patterns and beadwork by artists belonging to different tribes. Even their footwear, otherwise known as moccasins, are interestingly crafty.
Another aspect that people found enchanting is their spirituality and wisdom alongside nature. Tribes still have varying beliefs but it has been known that they greatly value the spirit of nature. They have a lot of passages related to this wisdom about nature. All the legends, the myths and the stories never lost its appeal and it is brought alive by being continuously retold through art, literature and film.
Here at Rob Diamond we have worked hard to find belt buckles dedicated to Native Americans. They made use of certain characters that epitomize the Native American tradition. One of the symbols used for these belt buckles is the Indian headdress. Traditionally, these feather headdresses are war bonnets. It is the most popular type of Indian headdresses even if it was not really worn by a lot of them. Usage is limited to only few tribes and is usually only awarded to warriors who did something courageous. It has been said that each feather had to be earned by an act of bravery or by a particular deed. They are typically made of tail feathers of the golden eagle. This war bonnet has been heavily popularized by western films that it easily became associated with the native Americans.
