In North American Indigenous culture, eagles represent power, healing, wisdom and connection to the Great Spirit. Eagles teach man the story of life. They teach one to live in balance with heaven and Earth, to love the shadow as much as the light and to soar with the gift of clear vision and tenacity. This image is a detail of an Indigenous costume at the Pow Wow at the Museum of Archaeology, September 18, 2010.

How did I miss this photo earlier?! It’s a favorite (beyond my words)!
Congratulations on four years posting. To celebrate, I would like to glance back into your archives! : )
