Love – carried by the Eagle

The Creator had cleaned the earth 2 other times, first with ice then with water, when the human beings lost their way and were getting out of control. As the Creator planned to cleanse the earth again – because once again the humans had lost their way – the Eagle came forward to speak on their behalf, “Let me fly out and search to see if any people are still trying to follow your ways”. So the Eagle flew out searching, until he came across the Red people still honouring the Creator and the life he gave them. The Creator then instructed the Eagle to do this everyday and as long as some people were still following the Creators laws he would not cleanse the Earth again, for how much he loved the people. The Eagle carries the teaching love, he flies closest to the Creator and carries our prayers and so we always offer him tobacco to thank him. Love is the most powerful medicine Creator gave us. We must love ourselves first to be able to love. Love can heal. Love can work miracles. We must use love in everything we say, think and do. We feed the Eagle fish in the fall as they leave and in the spring when return. The Eagle carries the medicine Sweetgrass.

To know love is to know peace. The Eagle has the ability and strength to carry all teachings. Eagle can reach the highest of all creatures and believed to be closest to Creator. Love is based on admiration, tenderness, devotion and kindness for all things around you.
