Eagle Song

Eagle Song is an Anishinaabe song that talks about seeing and hearing the eagle. In some ways you fly with that eagle and honour it as it flies high. The eagle is the creature that flies the closest to creator and it takes all our prayers and thoughts to the creator. Even when you don't speak out loud the eagle can still hear you. So that's why we have to be careful how we think and how we walk on this path.
