When the world wad new, the Creator made all the birds. He coloured
their feathers like a bouquet of flowers. The Creator then gave each
a distinct song to sing. The Creator instructed the birds to greet
each new day with a chorus of their songs. Of all the birds, our
Creator chose the Eagle to be the leader. The Eagle flies the highest
and sees the furthest of all creatures. The Eagle is a messenger to
the Creator. During the Four Sacred Riguals we will wear an Eagle
Feather in our hair. To wear or to hold the Eagle Feather causes our
Creator to take immediate notice. With the Eagle Feather the Creator
is honored in the highest.
When one recieves an Eagle Feather that person is being acknowledged
with gratitude, with love, and with ultimate respect. That feather
must have sacred tobacco burnt for it. In this way the Eagle and the
Creator are notified of the name of the new Eagle Feather Holder.
The holder of the Eagle Feather must ensure that anything that changes
the natural state of ones mind (Alcohol and Drugs) must never come in
contact with the sacred Eagle Feather. The keeper of the feather will
make a little home where the feather will be kept. The Eagle feather
must be fed. You feed the Eagle Feather by holding or wearing the
feather at sacred ceremonies. By doing this the Eagle Feather is
recharged with sacred energy.
Never abuse, never disrespect, and never contaminate your Eagle Feather.
Only real human men and women carry the Eagle Feather. The Mohawk man
will have three Eagle Feathers standing straight up on his Kahstowa
(feather hat). this is what I know about the sacred Eagle Feather, Tho..
