Feathers Up is the theory and practice that pays homage to the minds, bodies, souls, and spirits of the American Aborigine (past, present, and future). Although the saying "feather up" has commonly been associated with "peacocking" or a person seeking attention, the growing community of knowledge seekers and hopeful skeptics about the antiquity of the American Aborigine affirm "FEATHERS UP" acknowledges the relational dynamic between the familial histories and cultural contributions of the original inhabitants of America (North, Central, South and adjoining islands).
