Eagle dances, ceremonies and societies occur throughout North American Indian legends and culture. Golden Eagles, the war eagle, were kept for their molted feathers by Pueblo Indians of the southwestern United States. Many tribes used eagle feathers on weapons and head-dresses to symbolize victories and courage or to represent status. Parts of eagles, including feathers, talons, and skulls, remain important in the ceremonial and religious practices of many native American tribes. From wing bones, Plain’s men fashioned the whistles they blew during the Sun Dance, and they considered eagle and bear claws to be powerful charms. In general, eagles and bears symbolized nature’s power, mystery, and majesty. Indians worshiped or revered them across the continent. As an addition to your home or office, this piece would offer a glimpse into authentic Native American life and is signed by artist Fisher.
