This contemporary sculpture celebrates the Eagle and his protective spiritual power. 

The Eagle is an important part of Native Legends.  It is the bird, which flies above all others, and is therefore the first to see what is over the horizon.  The great bird of flight warns us, mankind, of what is to come and is therefore regarded as our guardian or protector. This Eagle sculpture is intended to guard and protect its keepers for all eternity.

Carved on the Six Nations Confederacy of the Grand, proudly made in Canada.
