An Eastern Woodlands Gustoweh is a traditional Native American headdress, often referred to as a “real hat.” It is handcrafted with natural turkey feathers and an ash frame lined with fabric. The Gustoweh is an essential part of Eastern Woodlands regalia, worn by men to signify their cultural identity.

This style of Gustoweh typically features a single barred wing turkey feather at the top, along with a braided ribbon and bells for added decoration.
