EAGLES SYMBOLIZE: POWER, INTELLIGENCE, VISION

The Eagle story is one of the most popular legends in Native art and mythology. In many regions, Eagle clan families are traditionally very prominent and Eagle Chiefs are the most powerful. Eagle is used to represent perception and spiritual connection. Eagle feathers and down are sacred: Traditionally, shamans believed in their healing powers and used them in ceremonial contexts, such as honoring a respected guest. The down symbolizes good luck, peace, welcome, and friendship.
