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.

Leroy Henry

Leroy Henry is a member of the Turtle Clan, Cayuga Nation, of the Six Nations Confederacy. 

Born in 1974, Leroy has enjoyed carving since
the age of ten. He is active in the traditional sports of lacrosse and snow-snake, but mostly enjoys sharing the traditional ways of his Elders through the tales
of his sculptures.

His large sculpture “Eagle Tree of Peace” in the
heart of Huron University's campus in London serves as a center-piece and symbolize reconciliation between his community and the Anglican Church.
