From Page 56:

Eagle "represents creativity and inspiration"

"To Native Americans, the most important form of creativity is the freedom to follow one's own path while maintaining respect for other spiritual paths."

"The Eagle leave no tracks in the sky and follows no trail. Yet the flight of the Eagle has direction and intent. Isn't this the paradox of spiritual life? We follow a path without signposts; we balance courage, commitment, and trust, journeying from, through, and toward the UNKNOWN."

From page 76:

"The Elders' teachings are meant to awaken our innate goodness; a person who attains a spiritual state will naturally behave in a good way. Implicit in this philosophy is the notion that Native American Values are not rules that must be obeyed but rather, good words that are meant to inspire, guide, and instruct."
