What is the native indian chief headgear called?

Need to recreate one for a cake order for a client so i need to do some research on this thing :)

Update:

@Gray Wanderer. Thanks for the pompous answer. My ignorance stems from innocent connotations, but yours is just bitter and asinine. Congratulations, you're "that guy".

    Why'd the Chief wear a feathered hat? To keep his Wigwam.

    Peace Bonnet is the actual name. Thats the long one with all the feathers most common in the Eastern US. There are Kachina like ones in the Southwest and assorted Masks in the Northwest so you'd have to be more specific to Nation, Tribe and Clan. A Buffalo one would be more generic.

    Which Tribe? Which Chief? or are you going to do all 200 to 300 'Chief" headdresses?
