Eagle Feathers

The Eagle Feather is a highly prized possession. It has many different uses for Native American People. It is the Center of Life - very sacred and close to the Red Road.
It is used for medicinal and religious ceremonies. It is a symbol of honor.
No Prayer is complete without the presence of eagle feathers.

The greatest gift or reward one might receive or give in life, is a white with black tip tail feather of the Golden Eagle. The more white on the feather, the greater the honor and spiritual Power.

I, as an Indian, pray for the right to wear the Highest Badge of Courage, an Eagle feather or feathers, and I pray also to never misuse them. I know they will cleanse my soul and make may heart pure.

I hold the Eagle feather in highest esteem. To dance with the Eagle feathers flowing in perfect rhythm with the Drum and the Universe, give one a natural high and a glorious, happy feeling.
You can feel the Earth and the Spirit of the Eagle in Flight.

Your feet and heart are light as a feather as you
dance for your own pleasure and to please your Maker.
