Not all tribes used the headdress that most are familiar with. The headdress was used as a symbol of bravery or deeds, not just in battle or war (although many call them war bonnets). Depending on the tribe, the way the feather was worn and or the type of feather represented the act of bravery. The act of Counting Coup for instance could win you a feather, pointed sideways or straight up: Counting Coup was (for instance) proving you 'could' kill a man in battle, but deciding not to (a very brave thing to do).

Did the catawba Indians wear headdresses?

The Catawba Indians did not traditionally wear elaborate headdresses like some other Native American tribes. Instead, they typically wore simpler head coverings, such as cloth or animal hide, and adorned themselves with beads and other decorations. Their clothing and adornments were more functional and suited to their lifestyle. Headdresses were not a significant part of Catawba culture compared to other tribes known for their elaborate feathered headdresses.
