Talk:War bonnet

[edit] The name "war bonnet"
When this article is revised and "wikified", it might be good to mention that the term war bonnet is not a translation of any Native American term, seems to have been carelessly coined, and is somewhat misleading. The so-called war bonnet is obviously not meant to be worn in combat, but on strictly ceremonial and formal occasions (as the article makes clear). Indeed, it might more appropriately be called a peace bonnet! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.93.29.149 (talk) 03:43, August 26, 2007 (UTC)
