Eagels are a symbol to all native people of North America as having great strength. Of all birds of prey, Native Americans give eagles the greatest honor. " Why weDance: to dance is to pray, to pray is to heal, to heal is to give, to give is to live, to live is to dance". This poem by Native American Marijo Moore sums up the meaning behind having and participating in the setting of a powwow for many people. The imporant thing being the prayer; and that is where they hold an eagle in the highest regards, for it is the eagle that carries their prayers to the creator.

Thanks again to Cindy and Todd Palmatier for the pictures and taking our eagle to the Powwow in Fairbanks.
