A-ca-oo-mah-ca-ye

A-ca-oo-mah-ca-ye, (Ac ko mok ki, Ak ko mock ki, A’kow-muk-ai) connu aussi sous le nom de Feathers (Plumes) ou d' Old Swan (Vieux cygne) (mort en 1859 ou 1860)[1] était un chef de la tribu amérindienne des Pieds-Noirs. Il avait la réputation d'être plutôt un conciliateur.

En juillet 1859, John Palliser et les membres de son expédition ont été ses invités à son campement de la rivière Red Deer dans l'Alberta.
