Which of the following statements about the Alaska native leader's gear is accurate?

• A. He wore a leather cap
• B. He wore a feathered headdress
• C. He wore a silver crown
• D. He wore a raven-shaped hat

Answer: (D)

In Alaska Native leadership regalia, symbols and forms tied to clan crests and mythic beings express authority, status, and lineage. A hat shaped like a raven fits this tradition because the raven is a central figure in many Alaska coastal cultures, revered as a culture-hero and symbol of power, so a raven-shaped hat would mark a leader’s rank and connection to ancestral stories. A leather cap would be practical rather than ceremonial, a feathered headdress is more typical of other regions’ regalia, and a silver crown does not align with traditional Alaska Native attire.
