This is a story I dreamed and I wrote it out as I designed this piece, I hope you enjoy my tale.
This piece had an accident, it happened at a show and I missed it until I got home to rearrange my containers. I was sad, I loved this piece. I am not sure if I will be moved to pick it up again to rework it........ I do have a photograph and my story and I have an opportunity to share with you, so I rejoice!
Eagle Rising
Long ago The People had a good life. The land was rich and food abundant, they lived in peace with all creatures.
Then a tribe of white settlers moved to the land of The People,the white people were greedy and wasteful. Soon everyone was hungry and freezing because all the abundance was used up.
The white settlers decided The People were the problem so they began to war against them, The people had only spears and clubs against guns and cannons, it seemed The People would all be destroyed! They planned to kill the warriors and old men, and sell the squaws and children for slaves.
But the great White Eagle saw the plight of The people and was saddened.He spread his mighty wings and swooped in to gather all The People from the flames of the burning and looted village,then he flew to the top of a far mountain and set The People free in a land of peace and abundance.
The feather focal represents the White Eagle
Antique Mother of pearl carved pieces -war clubs
Lapis stone arrowhead-war weapon
Sterling beads and copper-The treasure of a pure heart
Trade beads-enslavement
White leather cords-Bonds that can't be broken
