IIRC, that type of feather headdress is representative of some of the 'Plains Indians'
such as Sauk & Fox, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Sioux, Blackfeet, Comanche, and Pawnee.


It did look similar to the ones we'd see in newspaper photos when pow-wows were
held in the local area of my hometown.
Our locals were Poncas, Tonkawas, Otoe-Missouria, Kaws and other tribes that
I probably was never acquanited with, being a pale-face.

I thought the headdress looked familiar -- I think he is a member of the Kiowa Black Stocking Society. Look at the picture below and the headdress is like this one with the beadwork on the headdress. They participate in OU functions and this guy looks just like they do. VOA: Probably why the headdress looked familiar!
