Native Spirit Rising - Blue Ribbon Edition

Bald eagles are highly revered and considered sacred within American Indian traditions, culture and religion. They fly higher and see better than any other bird; and as they roam the skies are considered to be spiritual beings with a special connection to the Gods. For this reason, Native Americans have chosen the bald eagle and its feathers as a symbol of bravery, strength, power and freedom. They also signify a person who rises above the petty details of daily life to take in the big picture.
