Cultural Narrative
One community member describes the importance of using eagle feathers in ceremony. He says: "Eagle flies highest and closest to Creator. When talking about ancestors if the Eagle feather is present, it keeps you from moving on to something that is not true, focused on culture, who you are, gives humility, honors who your ancestors are, forces truth, and the respect you have for others."
