THE EAGLE AND EAGLE FEATHER MEDICINE
Eagle Feathers
Most all North American Native People attach special significance to the Eagle and its feathers.
Both Bald and Golden Eagles (and their feathers) are highly revered and considered sacred within Native traditions, culture and religion. They are honoured with great care and shown the deepest respect.
They represent
- honesty,
- truth,
- majesty,
- strength,
- courage,
- wisdom,
- power and
- freedom.
- As they roam the sky, they are believed to have a special connection to Creator.
According to traditional Native beliefs, the Creator made all the birds of the sky when the World was new. Of all the birds, the Creator chose the Eagle to be the leader... the Master of the Sky.
The Eagle flies higher and sees better than any other bird.
Therefore, its perspective is different from other creations that are held close to the Earth, and it is closer to the Creator.
The Creator also has a different perspective of what occurs below in this world of physical things in which humankind resides.
The Eagle spends more time in the higher element of Father Sky than other birds, and Father Sky is an element of the Spirit.
The Eagle is considered to be a messenger to Creator.
It was given the honour of carrying the prayers of man and woman between the World of Earth and the World of Spirit, where the Creator and grandfathers/grandmothers reside.

To wear or hold an Eagle feather causes the Creator to take immediate notice.
With the Eagle feather, the Creator is honoured in the highest way.
For Native people an Eagle feather is used in ceremonies to call upon the Creator and to command respect and focus on the situation at hand.
In a talking circle the person holding the Eagle Feather is the only person who can speak and once that person is finished he or she passes the feather on to the next person who speaks and again attention to the words being spoken by the new individual is commanded.
