United States Ambassador Roger F Nyhus presented the Prime Minister of Dominica, Dr Roosevelt Skerrit, with a symbolic gift – a diplomatic feather. This beautiful feather, crafted by Seattle-based Lummi Nation glass artist Dan Friday in collaboration with Stonington Gallery, represents wisdom, trust, and strength.

The gift intertwines the colors of Dominica’s flag with the cultural significance feathers hold in Native American tradition.

As a proud member of the Chinook Indian Nation, Ambassador Nyhus commissioned this feather to honor the enduring partnership and friendship between the United States and Dominica.

The gift was presented to PM Skerrit during a brief interaction held during the sidelines of the 4th edition of the Small Island Developing States conference being held in Antigua and Barbuda.
